The trait that would produce a continuous distribution of phenotypes is:
**a trait like skin color that is determined by several genes, resulting in many phenotypes from dark to light.**
This is because traits determined by multiple genes (polygenic inheritance) typically result in a wide range of phenotypes, creating a continuous distribution rather than discrete categories.
