Question

What does having multiple alleles mean? Give an example of a human multiple allele traits.

Answer 1

Alleles are versions of a gene that will express different qualities.  Multiple alleles would mean that a gene has many variations; for example, there a multiple alleles for eye color: blue, green, brown, etc.  The opposite would be a gene with just two variations; an example would be simple pea plants which can have smooth or wrinkled pods.
