Genetics page 106- Chapter 5
More than two alleles (multiple alleles) may be present in a group of individual organisms, although each individual diploid organism still has only two alleles at that locus.
Concept Check 5- Genetics -college textbook for Biology 305
How many genotypes are present at a locus with five alleles?
solution:
use the equation on page 104 : [n(n+1)]/2
plug in the values: 5(5+1)/2 = 5(6)/2 = 30/2 = 15 (choice C)
The answer is provided at the end of the chapter on page 126, but they don't explain how they got the answer.
