What are more than two alleles that exist in a population for a particular trait?
Multiple alleles
The blood type trait which is controlled by more than two alleles for a given gene and therefore is called?
multiple alleles
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.
What is one difference between single gene trait and a polygenic trait?
Polygenic traits result in more variation because so many more alleles are involved in the process of reproduction.
What is multiple allele gene expression?
Instead of having only two alleles for a trait, there are more than two. An example in humans is the ABO blood group system, where there are three alleles that are possible. However, an individual can only inherit the alleles of his/her parents, for a total of two alleles.
In ------ these are more than two alleles possible for a trait?
polygenic inheritance :)
What are more than two alleles that exist in a population for a particular trait?
Multiple alleles
When than two alleles control a trait?
The presence of more than two alleles that control a trait is called multiple allele. An example of this is the group gene of ABO blood that has three alleles.
When more than two different alleles control a trait?
The presence of more than two alleles that control a trait is called multiple allele. An example of this is the group gene of ABO blood that has three alleles.
What are genes with three or more alleles called?
this makes no scientific sense. A gene (which determines a phenotypic trait) can only contain 2 alleles. However codominace allows for multiple alleles to be chosen from, but only 2 picked for a gene. Also, if multiple genes determine a phenotypic trait that's polygenic inheritance.
When a trait has more then two alleles and how is that trait inherited?
Even though there are more than two alleles, an individual can inherit only two, one from the mother and one from the father.
What is a multiple allelism?
It is a trait that is determined by more than one pair of alleles.
What is multiple alleleism?
It is a trait that is determined by more than one pair of alleles.

More than one pair of alleles controls a trait?
It isn't genome the definition of genome is a map of the location of individual genes on every chromosome of an individual. It's multiple alleles- having more than two alleles that control a trait. PS- I got this information from my text book:)
