True or false even though a gene has multiple alleles a person can carry only two of those alleles?
True
What is multiple allele gene expression?
Multiple allele gene expression refers to a situation where a single gene has more than two alleles, or different versions of the gene, which can be expressed differently within an individual's genotype. This can lead to a wider range of possible phenotypic outcomes because each allele may contribute to the expression of a specific trait.
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
Explain why a single organism cannot have one of every allele from its gene pool?
A single organism cannot have one of every allele from its gene pool because it inherits only two alleles for each gene—one from each parent. This means that while an organism can carry multiple alleles for some genes, it cannot possess all possible alleles that exist within a population's gene pool. Additionally, due to genetic recombination and the vast diversity of alleles in a population, the total number of alleles far exceeds what any single organism can contain.
Why can an individual carry only two alleles for a given gene?
You have 2 alleles for each trait you may have. One is on the chromosome from you mother, the other is on the other chromosome from your father. You have 2 of each of our 23 chromosomes (one from mom, one from dad). This is why you look a little or a lot like your parents.
True or false even though a gene has multiple alleles a person can carry only two of those alleles?
True
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 the alleles of a gene?
That depends on the gene: some genes have only a few alleles, some genes have hundreds or even thousands of alleles.
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.
What is multiple allele gene expression?
Multiple allele gene expression refers to a situation where a single gene has more than two alleles, or different versions of the gene, which can be expressed differently within an individual's genotype. This can lead to a wider range of possible phenotypic outcomes because each allele may contribute to the expression of a specific trait.
What are genes and alleles?
The functional part of DNA is a gene. All the DNA in an organism does not code for protein. In fact, only a fraction of the genome codes for protein. The part of the DNA that codes for protein is called a gene. Different forms of the same gene are called alleles. There are alleles controlling phenotypic features such as eye color and height of the individual Although these features are controlled by the same gene, different features can result depending on which allele is expressed.
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 trait is referred to as dominant?
In genetics dominance refers to the relationship between the alleles of a single gene. If as an example we assume that only two alleles exist, these being A and B and we also assume that genes only have two alleles then there are only three possible combinations:- AA, BB and AB. If we look the individuals with the AA gene and find they are different from the individual with the BB gene then it is impossible to say which allele is dominant. This can be found by looking at the AB individuals, if they are the same as the AA individuals then the A allele is dominant, if they resemble the BB individual then the B allele is dominant.
