Is a feather the color of a rainbow?
No, Feathers and rainbows are two separate things. Feathers can almost instantly have any type of color , therefor rainbows have all colors.see the difference?
What are the two alleles for color in a pea plant?
Flowers having 1. red color, 2. pink color and 3. white color.
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
What is the connection between genes and alleles?
they both show something about appearance.
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.
A purebred chicken with white feathers is crossed with a purebred chicken that has black feathers. Each of their offspring has both black and white feathers. Why does this happen?
Both alleles for feather color are dominant.
A perlino horse has two cream alleles on what base color?
bay
Scientists compare two different plant species. In species A, the leaf color is controlled by two alleles. In species B, leaf color is controlled by five alleles. How will these two plants be different?
species B will have a wider range of phenotypes

What color were the feathers of the dodo?
The color of the feathers of the dodo bird were gray.
What does it mean if there is two different alleles for a trait?
The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.
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 type of alleles are there?
Some types of alleles are: blood type, hair color, hair type, eye color, etc.
What are inherited traits of fruit flies?
eye color (red/white) and body color (brown/yellow). In fruit flies, eye color is a sex-linked trait determined by a single gene with two alleles. Red color is dominant to white eye color. Body color is an autosomal trait determined by a single gene with two alleles, where brown is dominant to yellow. -Angela B.
What are genes that have more than two alleles?
ABO blood groups in humans,Coat color in rabbits is determined by four alleles,human-leukocyte-associatedantigen(HLA) genes
Scientists compare two different plant species. In species A the leaf color is controlled by two alleles. In species B leaf color is controlled by five alleles. How will these two plants be different?
Species A will have fewer phenotypes. (apex)
