Maybe if you were to actually do your homework and look it up in the book than maybe you would know the answer instead of looking it up on an answer site where anyone can post an answer to whatever they want to...so get off your lazy butt and actually work to find the answer instead of actually trying to do the work -_-
A gene can have multiple forms, which are called Alleles. While a single gene may code for a trait in an organism, when multiple alleles exist for that gene, each different may produce a different character of that trait. For example, a person has two copies of the gene that codes for ABO blood type. There are three different alleles for this gene, A, B and O. This results in six different combinations of the alleles that the person can have (the genotype), which in turn results in four expressions of the gene in the person (called the phenotype), which is the blood type of the person.
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.
Polygenic traits result in more variation because so many more alleles are involved in the process of reproduction.
When two or more forms of a gene for a single trait exist, some forms of the gene may be dominant, while others may be recessive. Dominant alleles can mask the expression of recessive alleles in a heterozygous individual. This variation leads to different phenotypes depending on the combination of alleles an organism possesses.
Traits inherited by multiple alleles are those that are controlled by three or more different forms of a gene (alleles) at a single locus. Examples include human blood type, where the ABO gene has three common alleles (IA, IB, and i), and coat color in rabbits, which is determined by four alleles of the C gene (C, cch, ch, and c).

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.
The different forms or variations of a gene are called alleles. Thank you<3

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.
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.

Examples include human blood type, where the ABO gene has three common alleles (IA, IB, and i), and coat color in rabbits, which is determined by four alleles of the C gene (C, cch, ch, and c).
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.
