Yes, a rabbit's fur color is a multiallelic triat. However, the color is also influenced by environmental conditions, especially the cold.

What are the characteristic of multiple alleles?
1) Multiple alleles are always on the same location (locus) on the alleles.2)they always effect the same character.3)They always occupy the same gene locus on chromosome.4)no crossing over is known to occur on chromosome.5)a single multiple allelic series affects only one trait _eye color etc
What is the inheritance pattern of a trait controlled by many genes like skin color?
Multiple gene inheritance. Sree
What is a trait or genetic disorder caused by Polygenic inheritance?
A polygenic trait is a trait which multiple genes affect. An example would be skin color, the combined affects of several genes determine your base pigment shade. Polygenic traits are caused by a combination of genes.
What is the difference between alleles and multiple alleles?
Alleles refer to different versions of the same gene. So a single gene can have multiple alleles. For example in fruit flies there is a single gene that controls eye color, and the eye color of the fly depends on the alleles they have for that gene (since they have two copies of every gene, being diploid). A polygenic trait refers to any inheritable trait that is controlled by multiple genes, and each of these genes can have multiple alleles. For example, eye color in humans is a polygenic trait. There are at least three different genes, each with multiple alleles, that determine eye color in humans. Polygenic traits don't follow patterns of mendelian inheritance. So in summation the difference is multiple alleles refers to different versions of one gene and polygenic traits refers to a single trait which is controlled by multiple genes (each with multiple alleles) Yes, or: 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 multiple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
What is a human trait controlled by multiple alleles?
Blood type. (O, A, and B- O is recessive and A & B are dominant)
If a man obtained 32 spotted and 10 solid color rabbits from mating two spotted rabbits which trait is dominant?
The spotted trait or broken trait (as rabbit breeders call it) will always be dominant. - Bunny Heaven Rabbitry

1) Multiple alleles are always on the same location (locus) on the alleles.2)they always effect the same character.3)They always occupy the same gene locus on chromosome.4)no crossing over is known to occur on chromosome.5)a single multiple allelic series affects only one trait _eye color etc
What is an example of a trait produced through multiple alleles?
eye color, blood type, hair color
What are the Characteristics of multiples?
1) Multiple alleles are always on the same location (locus) on the alleles.2)they always effect the same character.3)They always occupy the same gene locus on chromosome.4)no crossing over is known to occur on chromosome.5)a single multiple allelic series affects only one trait _eye color etc
An example of a trait that is determine by multiple alleles is?
Human height , sin color ,intelligence e.t.c.
How many alleles does a zygote have for each trait?
No - some traits are polygenetic (such as for skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and will have multiple alleles.
What is the inheritance pattern of a trait controlled by many genes like skin color?
Multiple gene inheritance. Sree
What are the characteristics of polygenic traits?
Polygenic means that multiple genes created the same trait. The skin color gene is polygenic because multiple genes will give you the same trait.
What is a trait or genetic disorder caused by Polygenic inheritance?
A polygenic trait is a trait which multiple genes affect. An example would be skin color, the combined affects of several genes determine your base pigment shade. Polygenic traits are caused by a combination of genes.
What does does heterozygous mean?
Heterozygous means that you are carrying 1 dominant trait and 1 recessive trait.If an allelic pair has one dominant and other recessive gene it is called heterozygous.
What heterozygous mean?
Heterozygous means that you are carrying 1 dominant trait and 1 recessive trait.If an allelic pair has one dominant and other recessive gene it is called heterozygous.
Are blue or brown eyes dominent?
brown eyes are dominant and are the most common eye colour half of the world has them population have them including me
