What traits are controled by a gene with multiple alleles?
Some of the human traits determined by multiple alleles would be hair color, hair texture, eye color, built, physical structures, etc. One notable and most common example of multiple alleles in humans would be of the blood groups.
When both alleles contribute to the phenotype it is called?
PleiotropyPleiotropy occurs when one gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits, an example being phenylketonuria, which is a human disease that affects multiple systems but is caused by one gene defect.
What has multiple alleles?
more than two alternative form of a gene in a population occupying same locus on a chromosome or its homologous are called multiple alleles example--------blood group in human being -------- drosophila has 15 alleles for eye colour ---------- rabbit has 4 alleles for coat colour
How do multiple alleles control the trait?
In the case of multiple alleles, one trait is governed by more than two alleles. One example is the human ABO blood group. There are three alleles, A, B, and O. A person can, however, only inherit two of the three alleles.
How can Mendel's principles be used to study human traits-?
Yes. This is nonsense which I am writing, you should not cheat. Haha.
What three ways are human traits controlled?
Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.

How do you know that human height is not multiple alleles?
It is based on multiple alleles.

What is one difference between a single gene trait and a polygenic trait?
Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by mulitple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
An example of a trait that is determine by multiple alleles is?
Human height , sin color ,intelligence e.t.c.
Which two terms best describe the inheritance of human blood types?
codominance and multiple alleles
What are examples of multiple allelic?
The colour of wheat seeds, or skin colour are common examples used in text books.
What genes are a good example of multiple alleles?
The human ABO blood group system is a good example of multiple alleles. There are three alleles involved: IA, IB and IO. If a person inherits two IA alleles, or IA and IO, they will be group A. If they inherit two IB alleles, or IB and IO, they will be group B. If you inherit two IO alleles you will be group O.
