NEETZoologyPrinciples of Inheritance and Variation
What example provides a good demonstration of multiple alleles?
Options
- AHeight in pea plants
- BFlower color in snapdragons
- CABO blood grouping in humans
- DFur color in rabbits
Correct answer
C. ABO blood grouping in humans
Step-by-step solution
Do you realise that the example of ABO blood grouping also provides a good example of multiple alleles ? Here you can see that there are more than two, i.e., three alleles, governing the same character. Since in an individual only two alleles can be present, multiple alleles can be found only when population studies are made.
