I'm wondering if a single gene can possess four different alleles. Is such a genetic variation possible within the same gene?

At the individual level, humans and all diploid organisms are limited to possessing only two alleles for a particular gene.

This limitation does not extend to the population level, where genetic diversity is abundant.

As a result, many different combinations of two alleles for a given gene are observed.
