Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple alleles refer to a situation where a gene has more than two alternative forms in a population. Heterozygotes and homozygotes refer to the presence of different or identical alleles in an individual, respectively. Epistasis refers to the interaction between different genes. Multiple zygotes refer to the result of multiple fertilization events, which is not related to the presence of multiple alleles in a gene.
