If a gene has multiple alleles, WHY can a person only have 2 alleles for the gene?

• It's a form of energy.

• Chromosomes exist in pairs.

• It is the variable being tested.

• A person can have more than 2 alleles.

There are multiple alleles for the ABO blood group. Why are only two of these alleles present in any one individual?

• Each parent contributes only one allele for the ABO blood group to the offspring.

• There are not enough nucleotides in a red blood cell to produce a third allele.

• Each allele in the ABO group must be dominant or recessive

• Blood group alleles are not segregated during meiosis.

• incomplete dominance and multiple alleles

• codominance and epistasis

• codominance and multiple alleles

• incomplete dominance and codominance

What is the primary reason that multiple alleles can exist in a population but only two alleles are found in an individual?

• Individuals inherit one allele from each parent.

• Multiple alleles are unstable in individuals.

• Environmental factors limit allele number.

• Genetic mutations reduce allele number.
