Multiple alleles are described when a trait is controlled by more than two alleles, and that even if a trait is controlled by more than two alleles each offspring still only inherits two. Epistasis occurs when the expression of a gene is controlled by the expression of another gene. Lethal alleles or lethal genes are alleles that cause the death of the organism that carries them. Lethal alleles are recessive, dominant, or conditional depending on the genes involved. It can lead to the death of an organism and it can manifest early in development. Question: Are these alleles common or rare in humans? Answer this question in not more than 3 sentences.
