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 do we call a description of an individuals alleles for a paticular gene?
That depends on the gene: some genes have only a few alleles, some genes have hundreds or even thousands of alleles.
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.)
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.
What are multiple allele traits?
A polygenic trait that require the additive effects of many alleles to be expressed. Height is an example of a polygenic trait. Or, a trait that has many alleles to fill the loci on chromosomes. Blood types are examples of this. A, B and O are all alleles that git the two chromosomal loci, but only any two at once whether homozygous or heterozygous.
Is this statement true or false multiple alleles can be studied only in individuals?
Fales
Is it true that multiple alleles can be studied only individuals?
Multiple alleles refers to there being more than two alleles for a particular trait. Incomplete dominance is when one allele does not completely mask another (as is usually the case in simple Mendelian inheritance) but instead the two traits are expressed equally. For example, if a red cow (RR) mates with a white cow (WW), their offspring will not be white and red, but a mixture of the two colors roan (RW). That is incomplete dominance.
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.
A population of an organism sHow is more than two alleles for a characteristic this is a case of?
This is a case of multiple allelism. Multiple allelism refers to the presence of more than two alleles for a particular gene in a population. Each individual will still only have two of these alleles.
What are the characteristic of multiple alleles?
1) Multiple alleles are always on the same location (locus) on the alleles.2)they always effect the same character.3)They always occupy the same gene locus on chromosome.4)no crossing over is known to occur on chromosome.5)a single multiple allelic series affects only one trait _eye color etc
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.
True or false even though a gene has multiple alleles a person can carry only two of those alleles?
True
What are multiple allels in biology?
Multiple alleles is a type of heredity in which one gene has more than two alleles. For example, in humans the gene for blood group has three alleles, A, B, and O. Even though there are three alleles in the population, a person can only inherit two alleles, one from his/her mother and one from his/her father.
What is the type of allele that only effect the phenotype in the homozygous chromosome?
Recessive. Dominant alleles are expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals (DD or Dd), but recessive alleles are only expressed in homozygous individuals (dd).
What do we call a description of an individuals alleles for a paticular gene?
That depends on the gene: some genes have only a few alleles, some genes have hundreds or even thousands of alleles.
There are three alleles for the ABO blood group in humans Why are there only two alleles normally present in any individual?
Each individual inherits one allele from each parent, resulting in two alleles total. The three alleles in the population are A, B, and O. Individuals with A blood type have AA or AO genotypes, individuals with B blood type have BB or BO genotypes, and individuals with O blood type have OO genotype. Therefore, individuals can only have two of the three alleles at a time.
For a gene that has multiple alleles more than 2 what is the maximum number of different allels a normal individual can have?
2. Even though there are multiple alleles for the same characteristic in the general population, an individual can only have two.
