A gene is said to have multiple alleles if it has more than how many alleles?
A gene is said to have multiple alleles if it has more than two different forms or variants (alleles). This means there are more than two variations of the gene present in a population.
What is a gene that has 3 or more alleles for a single trait?
An example of a gene with three or more alleles for a single trait is the ABO blood group gene. This gene has three main alleles - A, B, and O - which determine blood type. The different combinations of these alleles result in the various blood types (A, B, AB, and O) observed in humans.
What is the alternate form of a gene called?
Alleles are alternative forms of genes.
What is it called when there are more than two alleles present in a population?
Chromosomes are made of tightly wound DNA and protein. Genes are found along the length of chromosomes. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for making a specific protein or proteins required by the body. Human beings have about 30,000 - 35,000 genes. We have two copies of each gene, but the copies can be slightly different. For example, the gene associated with cystic fibrosis has more than 1000 different variations. Different versions of the same gene are called its alleles, and everyone has two alleles for each gene. (Males have only one X chromosome, so they only have one copy of the genes located on the X chromosome.)
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.

What is one difference between single gene trait and a polygenic trait?
Polygenic traits result in more variation because so many more alleles are involved in the process of reproduction.
When a gene has more than two alleles the condition is known as?
multiple alleles

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.

A single gene has 3 or more alternative forms These are called?
The different forms or variations of a gene are called alleles. Thank you<3
Genes that have more than two possible alleles are said to have?
multiple alleles. These are alternative forms of a gene that can exist at the same locus on a chromosome. Each individual still carries only two alleles, but the population as a whole may have more than two different alleles for that gene.
Alternative versions of a gene?
Alternative versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of a gene that can result in distinct traits or characteristics. These variations in alleles contribute to genetic diversity within a population.
What is multiple allele gene expression?
Multiple allele gene expression refers to a situation where a single gene has more than two alleles, or different versions of the gene, which can be expressed differently within an individual's genotype. This can lead to a wider range of possible phenotypic outcomes because each allele may contribute to the expression of a specific trait.
