Which of the following statements about Mendelian genetics is false? Select one: a. Alternate forms of genes are called alleles. b. A locus is a gene's location on its chromosome. c. Only two alleles can exist for a given gene. d. A genotype is a description of the alleles that represent an individual's genes. e. Individuals with the same phenotype can have different genotypes.

Mendel is one of the first scientists to demonstrate the inheritance of the alleles or genetic pattern of an organism. He is regarded as the Father of Genetics and also gave some laws to study the inheritance pattern.

The correct answer is:

Option C. Only two alleles can exist for a given gene

The statements in correspondence to genetics can be explained as:

1. The genes can exist in various forms, such that genes can have two or more two alleles. Alleles are the variant form of the gene.

2. The gene position on the chromosome is known as a locus. The alleles of a gene will also be present at the same locus.

3. The genotype is defined as the genetic makeup of an organism, in which alleles are categorized as purebred or heterozygous.

4. The phenotypically similar organism can have different genotypes, such that a yellow flower can be coded by YY or Yy genotype.

Thus, the statement only two alleles exist for the gene is incorrect in terms of genetics.
