Question

The expression that gives the number of genotypes for multiple alleles is

• A. \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\)
• B. \(\frac{n^{2}+1}{2}\)
• C. \( \frac{n(n^{2}+1)}{2} \)
• D. \(\frac{n^{2}+1}{2}\)

Hint:

For questions involving multiple alleles, use the formula \( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \) to find the number of genotypes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The number of genotypes for multiple alleles can be determined by the expression \( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \), where \(n\) is the number of alleles. This expression calculates the number of possible combinations of alleles for a given set of alleles.
