In mountain goats, the EL-2 gene is located on chromosome 3. Five alleles of this gene have been identified in the population. With respect to EL-2, what is the maximum number of different alleles that can be found in a single mountain goat? In mountain goats, the EL-2 gene is located on chromosome 3.

Explanation / Answer

There will be maximum two alleles in a single goat. According to Mendel one allele will be maternal and the other is paternal. Multiple alleles does not mean that there will be more than two allele in an individual. Even though many alleles exist in the population an individual will have only two allele for a gene.
