Why are there only two alleles in a population?

Solution

A simple explination

Since we are diploid organisms, so we have 2 chromosomes one from mom and one from dad, So it is possible that each trait has 2 copies one from mom and one from dad. The two copies of each trait/character we have got are called alleles, hence we have only 2 alleles.
