<h2>Maximum alleles</h2>

Explanation:

Maximum number of alleles that a person can carry is two

  • A gene may have multiple alleles but a person can carry only two of those alleles because chromosomes exists in pairs
  • Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent,each pair of alleles represents the genotype of a specific gene
  • Gene determines a particular trait whereas alleles determines the variations in which a given trait can be expressed
  • Human trait that is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles is blood group however only two of the alleles can be present in a single organism;ABO system of blood groups is controlled by three alleles, only two of which are present in an individual

Which eukaryotic organelles is primarily responsible for cellular digestion
Sergeu [11.5K]
Cellular Respiration occurs in 4 major stages: Glycolysis, NADH degeneration, Citric acid (or Kreb's) cycle and Electron Transport Chain. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol or cytoplasm of the cell. If oxygen is present, then the next three stages would occur, otherwise lactic acid or alcohol fermentation would occur. NADH degenration and Citric acid cycle occur in the matrix of the mitochondria while Electron Transport Chain occurs in the intermembranal space of the mitochondria. Most of cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria though. Hope this helped!
I must say this is a very complete answer but if i might add,of every part of a cell involved in cellular respiration,the only organelle is the mitochondria meaning that is the answer.
