The ABO gene is said to have multiple alleles state what this means

  <span> Multiple alleles means that there are three or more forms of a gene for a trait. That doesn't mean that a person can have all three of them. The person still only gets two ... it's just that there are three or more of the alleles in the gene pool that are available.

I tell my students that it's like having three trays of cookies, each tray having a different kind of cookie. Your instructions are that you may have any two cookies that you want. Can you have two from the same tray? Yes. Can you have two different kinds? Yes, you can have one of one kind and one of a second kind. Can you have one from each of the three trays? No, you can only have two cookies.

That's how multiple alleles work. Blood type is controlled by multiple alleles: A, B, and O. Can a person have AA? Yes. Can a person have OO? Yes. Can a person have AB? Yes. Can a person have BO? Yes (but it makes everybody laugh). Can a person have ABO? No, only two alleles and no more.

So the answer is .... No, a person does not have more than two alleles for a single gene.

Of course there are exceptions, but not normal exceptions. Only abnormal exceptions that happen when a person has an unusual number of chromosomes. If you are just learning genetics, you don't have to worry about these exceptions yet.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, four-field approach.

Explanation:

Anthropology refers to the study of human beliefs, behavior, and adaptations. In order to completely comprehend any aspect of human behavior, the field of anthropology adopts a four-field approach. The four sub-disciplines of anthropology are archaeology, cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and linguistic anthropology.  

In archaeology, materials are used generally from past cultures, in order to understand and illustrate human behavior and adaptive strategies via time. Biological anthropology refers to the study of humans as biological species, the research areas comprise diversity in modern human populations, human evolution, and medical anthropology.  

The cultural anthropology explores patterns of behavior and belief in historical and contemporary cultures all over the globe. The linguistic anthropology studies and documents languages in terms of acquisition, structure, and use in the transmission of culture. As can be seen that each of the sub-disciplines focuses on distinct characteristics of human adaptation, however, when taken together in a four-field approach it offers a powerful tool for gaining a complete understanding of any aspect of human behavior.
