Detailed explanation-1: -Traits controlled by a single gene with more than two alleles are called multiple allele traits. An example is ABO blood type. Your blood type refers to which of certain proteins called antigens are found on your red blood cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -An excellent example of multiple allele inheritance is human blood type. Blood type exists as four possible phenotypes: A, B, AB, & O. There are 3 alleles for the gene that determines blood type.
Detailed explanation-3: -In organisms with two copies of every gene, also known as diploid organisms, each organism has the ability to express two alleles at the same time. They can be the same allele, which is called a homozygous genotype. Alternatively, the genotype can consist of alleles of different types, known as a heterozygous genotype.
