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.)

∙ 9y agoA situation in which a gene has more than two alleles is known as multiple alleles. This type of inheritance pattern is non-Mendelian which means they do not segregate according to Mendel's law.

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 is the condition whereby a trait is determined by three or more alleles called?
Multiple alleles.
What is an interaction between alleles in which both alleles are expressed more or less equally or a blending occurs called?
Those would be called co-dominant alleles.
What are alleles that have an effect on an organisms phenotype?
The presence of more than two alleles for a trait is known as probility. There might be one which is dormant and the others which are recessive.
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.
If a population of an organism shows more than two alleles for a characteristic what is that called?
codominance
What are more than two alleles that exist in a population for a particular trait?
Multiple alleles
A population of an organism sHow is more than two alleles for a characteristic this is a case of?
multiple alleles
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.

What has multiple alleles?
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
