Maximum alleles
Step-by-step 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
