NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -However, in the given population, there are instances wherein there are more than two alternatives (alleles) existing. Those instances are referred to as “multiple allelism” where different forms of the same gene exist within the population. These three or more variants for the same gene are called multiple alleles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some genes have more than two allelic forms, which is referred to as multiple alleles. A diploid cell contains any of the two alleles, one each on the homologous chromosomes and a haploid cell contains only one allele. When a trait is governed by multiple alleles it is called multiple allelism.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
