Multiple alleles are present:

  2. BAt different loci on the same chromosome
  3. CAt the same locus of the chromosomes
  4. DOn non-sister chromatids

Correct answer

C. At the same locus of the chromosomes

Step-by-step solution

Mendel proposed that each gene has two contrasting forms i.e., alleles, but there are some which are having more than two alternative forms (allele). The presence of more than two alleles for a gene is known as multiple allelism. These alleles are present at the same locus of the chromosomes and can be identified only during population studies.
