Examples of Multiple Alleles:
1. Wings of Drosophila:
In Drosophila wings are normally long. There occurred two mutations at the same locus in different flies, one causing vestigial (reduced) wings and other mutation causing antlered (less developed) wings. Both vestigial and antlered are alleles of the same normal gene and also of each other and are recessive to the normal gene.
Suppose vestigial is represented by the symbol ‘vg’ and antlered wing by ‘vga‘. The normal allele is represented by the symbol +.
