False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
Alleles are alternative forms of genes.
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
Alleles are different versions of the same gene
Chromosomes are made of tightly wound DNA and protein. Genes are found along the length of chromosomes. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains instructions for making a specific protein or proteins required by the body. Human beings have about 30,000 - 35,000 genes. We have two copies of each gene, but the copies can be slightly different. For example, the gene associated with cystic fibrosis has more than 1000 different variations. Different versions of the same gene are called its alleles, and everyone has two alleles for each gene. (Males have only one X chromosome, so they only have one copy of the genes located on the X chromosome.)
They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles. An allele is a form of a gene, differing from other alleles of the gene by a few bases at most and occupying the same locus as the other alleles of that gene. The gene locus is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Hope that helped! They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles.

the gene's alleles are found in matched chromosome pairs
A gene found on a sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked gene. Alleles are the different forms of a gene.
Alleles are alternative forms of genes.
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
The chromosomes may undergo the process of "crossing-over", where the genes can be transferred from one chromosome on to the other one.
Chromosome 7
Y chromosome
Alleles are different versions of the same gene
The gene associated with narcolepsy is found on chromosome 12 in humans. This gene is called HLA-DQB1*06:02 and is a key genetic factor contributing to susceptibility to narcolepsy.
There is no maximum number of alleles. Biology Major
