multiple alleles
The condition whereby a trait is determined by three or more alleles is called multiple allelism. Multiple alleles refer to the presence of more than two alleles of a gene within a population. This can result in various combinations of traits and phenotypes.
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.
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.
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.
Alleles are alternative forms of genes.
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.
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.
The different forms or variations of a gene are called alleles. Thank you<3
When more than one gene is involved, alleles for each gene assort independently during gamete formation. This is known as Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment. Each gene is inherited separately, leading to a variety of possible allele combinations in offspring.
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.
This phenomenon is known as multiple allelism, where there are more than two different variations of a gene (alleles) that can affect a single trait. In this case, individuals can inherit one of several possible alleles for the trait. Examples include the ABO blood group system in humans, where there are three alleles (IA, IB, i) that determine a person's blood type.
The blood type trait that is controlled by more than two alleles for a given gene is known as the ABO blood group system. It involves three alleles: A, B, and O, which determine blood types A, B, AB, and O. This system results in four possible blood types due to the combination of these multiple alleles.
