All altered alternative forms of a gene, whose number is more than two are called:
Correct answer: C. Multiple alleles
- A. Co-dominant alleles
- B. Jumping genes
- C. Multiple alleles
- D. Homozygous
Explanation
Multiple alleles can be defined as a series of forms of a gene situated at the same locus of homologous chromosomes. According to Mendel, each gene had two alternate forms or allele morphs are being dominant and the other being recessive.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
