Depends on the gene. Can be as few as 2, or more than that. Height, hair colour etc have multiple alleles.

How many alleles for one trait are normally found in the genotype of an organism?

An organism has two alleles for one trait. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait, and if they are different, the individual is heterozygous.


Does a single pair of alleles always determine an individual trait?

No, often many other alleles will also determine the same trait. For example, many alleles put together will determine a person's skin color.


How many alleles for 1 trait do you get from your mother?

You get one allele for 1 trait from your mother. Alleles are alternative forms of a gene, and you inherit one allele for each trait from each parent.


Why can multiple alleles provide many different phenotypes for a trait?

Multiple alleles can provide many different phenotypes for a trait because each allele can code for a different version of a trait, leading to a wide range of possible combinations and variations in the expression of that trait.

Polygenic traits result in more variation because so many more alleles are involved in the process of reproduction.
