It depends on the trait. Some traits exhibit simple Mendelian heredity, being governed by only one gene. However, many traits are governed by more than one gene, which is called polygenic inheritance.

That depends on what kind of trait it is. Some traits are polygenic and may require many genes for a particular trait.
