Whether a gene can have more than two allele for a single trait.

Introduction:

The allele can be of two types dominant or recessive. The dominant allele has a property to mask the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygote condition.

The allele for hitchhiker’s thumb (h) is recessive to straight thumb (H). If a man and his wife are both homozygous recessive, will any of their offspring potentially have hitchhikers thumb?   What is the man’s genotype and the woman’s genotype?   What is the man’s phenotype and the woman’s phenotype?   What genotype(s) must the offspring have in order to have the phenotypic trait of hitchhiker’s thumb?   Do a cross to determine all potential hitchhiker’s thumb genotypes and phenotypes for the offspring of this man and woman. Is it possible for any offspring of the F1 generation to have hitchhiker’s thumb?
Why are some alleles dominant to other alleles?
What are two of the same alleles for a trait?
