If you are looking for a more general group of traits, then there is incomplete dominant genotypes (i.e. you can have a red flower, RR, and a white flower, rr, and come up with a pink, heterozygous flower, Rr) and codominance, where any allele an organism has is expressed. Blood type is a good example, where you have A, B, AB, and O.

blood group, MHC I complex(major histocompatibility complex, a component of the specific immunity, i.e. self recognition in case of transplants. in fact it has almost 200-250 allelic forms.)
pleiotropic genes are those that control more that one character.

A multifactorial trait arises from the interactions between multiple genes and/or the environment (i.e. temp., diet, stress, chemical balances).

Pleiotropic, if you're looking for the term.
