What is the multiple allele system?
A multiple allele system is when there are more than two possible allele pairs for a single locus.
What is multiple aleles?
Multiple alleles indicates that either the study is being conducted on alleles at more than one gene locus, that the characteristic being studied is controlled by several alleles at different loci or that there are two or more alleles at a single gene locus.
When a single trait is affected by more than one gene locus this called?
Multifactorial inheritance describes the situation were more than one gene affects a single trait. Environmental factors can also contribute to the single trait.
What do you call the physical location of a gene?
The specific term is gene locus. If the exact location is known then there is more specific terminology that refers to the chromosome number whether the locus is on the short (p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome and it's specific location based on band and sub-band location.
Each gamete gets one gene from each trait?
Each reproductive cell (gamete) is 1N (the haploid chromosome count) which means it has a single allele for a genetic trait at each gene locus...this is based on the assumption that the trait is controlled at a single site. Polygenic traits, those controlled or modified at more than one locus, will have multiple alleles for a trait.
What is a locus of control and what is the difference between an internal and external locus of control?
Locus of Control refers to the extent to which individuals believe that they can control events that affect them. Individuals with a high internal locus of control believe that events result primarily from their own behavior and actions. Those with a high external locus of control believe that powerful others, fate, or chance primarily determine events. Those with a high internal locus of control have better control of their behavior and tend to exhibit more political behaviors than externals and are more likely to attempt to influence other people; they are more likely to assume that their efforts will be successful. They are more active in seeking information and knowledge concerning their situation than do externals. The propensity to engage in political behavior is stronger for individuals who have a high internal locus of control than for those who have a high external locus of control.
How does polygenic trait differ from simple inheritance?
Well polygenetic inheritiance are traits that is controlled by multiple genes, so for one trait you may have more than two gene controlling it, human eye is an example. For polygenetic inheritance you cannot do a pedigree and calculated the percentage. For mendelian inheritance it all about two alleles for one trait where one is definetly more dominant over the other, it is much simpler than the polygenic trait and can be calculated through a pedigree.
What is codominant and dominant markers?
Dominant markers are high efficiency markers that allow the analysis of many loci per experiment without requiring previous information about their sequence. Co-dominant markers are allows the analysis of only a single locus per experiment, so they are more informative because the allelic variation for that locus can be distinguished.

What is the difference in between a trait and an allele?
A trait is generally expressed phenotypically. An allele is one of a pair alleles at the same locus...often referred to as a gene. An allele is present whether expressed or not. A single gene locus will have two alleles in an individual, but there may be more than 2 alleles for this locus in the population. General human blood groups are an example of this with A,B, O as the primary alleles and several other less common ones...(like M) present in the population.
Do locus bugs bite?
The answer is qite simple yes locus bugs co bite not only that but they also can take down crops and areknown for there vast numbers .locus are thought as science fiction because they are so terrifying . LOcus are a crop farmers worst fear because within a single night a entire field of weat corn anything will be tottaly demolished they travel in swarms of over 10,000 and some times more!!!!!!!!:pby by crops locus brees and die so every 4 to6 yeaars loocus emerge to breed by the thosands they are native to Africa parts of Europe and even some parts of north and south America.loucus are native to reletively dry places such as Mexico . basicly locus are the magic earaser of crops!!!! lol by by by crops!!!:p :)
What is the locus of point equidistant from two intersecting lines?
The locus in a plane is two more intersecting lines, perpendicular to each other (and of course half-way between the given lines.
