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
What else can I help you with?
What is a trait controlled by three or more alleles have?
multiple 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.
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.
When a trait has more than two different forms it would be best described by what terms. A. Recessive B. Dominant C. Incomplete dominance D. Phenotypic E. Multiple alleles?
E. Multiple alleles. Multiple alleles refers to a gene that has more than two alleles which can result in a larger number of possible trait variations. This is different from traits that are controlled by dominant and recessive alleles, or exhibit incomplete dominance.
What are more than two alleles that exist in a population for a particular trait?
Multiple alleles
What is a trait controlled by three or more alleles have?
multiple alleles
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have?
A trait controlled by four alleles is said to have multiple alleles.
How do you know that human height is not multiple alleles?
It is based on multiple alleles.
What are the multiple forms of genes called?
Alleles are genes that exist in multiple forms.
When more than two different alleles control a trait?
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.
How are multiple alleles different from polygenic traits?
Multiple alleles are genes that have more than two alleles. An example of this would be blood types, with ABO as three separate alleles.Polygenic traits are traits whose phenotype rely on alleles from different genes. An example of this would be hair type, which relies on genes from different parts of chromosomes.The main difference is that multiple alleles are genes with 3 or more alleles; polygenic traits do not necessarily have more alleles, but they rely on on multiple genes.
When a gene has more than two alleles the condition is known as?
multiple alleles
What is the condition whereby a trait is determined by three or more alleles called?
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 population of an organism sHow is more than two alleles for a characteristic this is a case of?

Two ways multiple alleles and polygenic traits differ?
Multiple alleles are "the existence of more than two alleles (versions of the gene) for a genetic traits. Polygenic traits are "[characteristics of organisms that are] influenced by several genes." So multiple alleles are more than two alleles for one trait, and polygenic traits are one trait that is influenced by multiple genes. This information came from my biology textbook, "Biology: Principles and Explorations" by Holt, Rinehart, and Winston.
Which two terms best describe the inheritance of human blood types?
codominance and multiple alleles
