Some of the human traits determined by multiple alleles would be hair color, hair texture, eye color, built, physical structures, etc.
One notable and most common example of multiple alleles in humans would be of the blood groups.
Multiple alleles
Traits controlled by a gene with multiple alleles can vary in terms of expression or phenotype. For example, human blood type (A, B, AB, O) is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. The different alleles can result in different phenotypes (A, B, AB, O) for the same trait.
Traits inherited by multiple alleles are those that are controlled by three or more different forms of a gene (alleles) at a single locus. Examples include human blood type, where the ABO gene has three common alleles (IA, IB, and i), and coat color in rabbits, which is determined by four alleles of the C gene (C, cch, ch, and c).
The ABO blood groups in humans are controlled by multiple alleles.
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.
Alleles are genes that exist in multiple forms.
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.
A gene is controlled by two alleles, one inherited from each parent. These alleles can be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous), influencing the expression of the gene and determining an individual's specific traits.
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.
Traits that are controlled a multiple gene loci. Polygenic traits.
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 mulitple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
Human traits are controlled by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents), environmental factors (such as diet and lifestyle), and epigenetic factors (changes in gene expression without changes in the underlying DNA sequence). These factors interact in complex ways to influence the development and expression of human traits.
