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

What are non-mendelian trait?
Non-Mendelian traits are:A trait with no clearly dominant alleleA trait with four allelesA trait controlled by many genes
How many alleles for a trait are there?
2
How many alleles for one trait can an individual have?
Genotypes consist of two alleles for every trait. You inherit one allele from one parent, and another from the other parent.
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.
How many alleles are for a mendelian trait?
2
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.
The number of possible phenotypes for a given trait depends on how many what control the trait?
Alleles
For a givin trait how many alleles does a normal gamete have?
1000000
A single individual carries how many alleles for a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits are controlled by several alleles. Some traits are simply one of many controlled by a single allele. It also depends and how you correlate the trait with the allele. Sometimes a completely unrelated allele can "turn on" or "turn off" other sets of alleles. This means that the number of alleles associated with a particular trait can ultimately be indeterminable by our current observational methods.
What do geneticists call alleles that are both expressed in the phenotype when they are together?
Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.
How many alleles does parent pass to an offspring for each trait?
5
In humans a trait can be determined by one pair of many pairs of?
alleles.
