  <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.

Legumes, a type of plant, require Rhizobia, a type of soil bacteria, to survive since these organisms fix nitrogen during photos
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The answer is: the legumes will extinct, too.


It is known that plants cannot directly use atmospheric nitrogen. But, some legumes have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that live in their root system. These bacteria are called Rhizobia and have the ability of nitrogen-fixation. In the root nodules, they use atmospheric nitrogen to convert it into ammonia, and later to ammonium, which can be used by plants. When legumes die, nitrogen from their remaining is released back to the soil where it is available to the other plants.

So, if <span>Rhizobia suddenly became extinct, the symbiotic relationship between will be interrupted. The legumes will not be able to use atmospheric nitrogen without the help of Rhizobia, and eventually, they will extinct, too.</span>
