more than two alternative form of a gene in a population occupying same locus on a chromosome or its homologous are called multiple alleles
example--------blood group in human being
-------- drosophila has 15 alleles for eye colour
---------- rabbit has 4 alleles for coat colour

What is a trait controlled by three or more alleles have?
multiple alleles
Is the three alleles of the single gene that controls blood type is said to be what alleles?
multiple alleles
What are some human traits that are caused by multiple alleles?
The heredity of the ABO blood groups are governed by 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 are more than two alleles that exist in a population for a particular trait?
Multiple 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 the multiple forms of genes called?
Alleles are genes that exist in multiple forms.
What is a trait controlled by three or more alleles have?
multiple alleles
How do you know that human height is not multiple alleles?
It is based on multiple alleles.
Is the three alleles of the single gene that controls blood type is said to be what alleles?
multiple alleles
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have?
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have multiple alleles.
When a gene has more than two alleles the condition is known as?
multiple alleles
How are multiple alleles different from polygenic traits?
Multiple alleles are genes that have more than two alleles. An example of this would be blood types, with ABO as three separate alleles.Polygenic traits are traits whose phenotype rely on alleles from different genes. An example of this would be hair type, which relies on genes from different parts of chromosomes.The main difference is that multiple alleles are genes with 3 or more alleles; polygenic traits do not necessarily have more alleles, but they rely on on multiple genes.
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.
Which of the following assort independently. a chromosomes b genes on the same chromosome c multiple alleles d co-dominate alleles?
the answer is C multiple alleles. The above answer is wrong. My son has the same question on his Biology homework. He chose the answer, multiple alleles and it was wrong. I believe the correct answer is, chromosomes!
Multiple alleles can be studied only in individuals?
Multiple alleles can be studied only in populations, not individuals. An example of multiple alleles would be blood type, each person has only one blood type, but a population has a many permutations.
What are some human traits that are caused by multiple alleles?
The heredity of the ABO blood groups are governed by multiple alleles.
