Want to know:
Multiple alleles are basically when a certain gene has three or more alleles. Meanwhile, polygenic traits are traits that are controlled by multiple genes instead of just one. An example of multiple alleles would be for rabbit coat colors (C gene). If the C gene comes in four common alleles: C, cch, ch, and c, these alleles would be considered as multiple alleles of the C gene. An example of polygenic traits is height. This is because height is influenced by many different bones (leg, torso, even neck).
