Question

Multiple alleles are present

• A. In different chromosomes
• B. At different loci on chromosome
• C. At the same locus on homologous chromosomes
• D. At the non homologous chromosome

Answer 1

The correct option is C At the same locus on homologous chromosomes

Multiple alleles is a type of non-Mendelian inheritance pattern that involves more than just the typical two alleles that usually code for a certain characteristic in a species. With multiple alleles, that means there is more than two phenotypes available depending on the dominant or recessive alleles that are available in the trait and the dominance pattern the individual alleles follow when combined together.
Multiple alleles are present at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
