Multiple Alleles Genetics Unit Biology 30 Mrs. S. Pipke-Painchaud
Multiple Alleles • have 3 or more alleles for the same gene (or at a single locus) • In Other Words – there are 3 or more alleles that create the different traits. • at most one individual will have 2 alleles or 1 pair (unit factors exist in pairs.) • in a species, however, many alternative forms exist
Example – ABO Blood Group • this deals with the presence of antigens • These are like labels/ name tags on the blood cells. • Each individual has 1 of 4 phenotypes • Type A • Type B • Type AB • Type O • What are you? http://www.rrsd.mb.ca/ResourcesandProjects/grade8/images/red%20blood%20cells.jpg
The Info You Need To Know • Gene designated is I (isoagglutinogen) • I = A antigen • I = B antigen • i = no antigen • IA and IB are bothcodominant • IA and IB are both dominant to I (type O)

Practice • If a person with Type A (Heterozygous) blood married and had children with a person who has Type B (Heterozygous) blood, what would the genotypic and phenotypic ratios be? • IAi X IBi Genotypic Ratio: 1 IAIB : 1 IAi: 1 IBi: 1 ii Phenotypic Ratio: 1 AB: 1 A: 1 B: 1 O
Practice • If you crossed a person with type 0 with heterozygous type B, what would the phenotypic ratio be? • ii X IBi • Phenotypic Ratio: • 1 B : 1 O
