What is multiple aleles?
Multiple alleles indicates that either the study is being conducted on alleles at more than one gene locus, that the characteristic being studied is controlled by several alleles at different loci or that there are two or more alleles at a single gene locus.
Where is location of different alleles of the same gene?
One of the different alleles would be at the same gene locus on each of the paired chromosomes.
How are terms gene locus and allele related?
Gene locus is a specific location on an allele.
What is the difference between a factor and an allele?
A locus is a particular location or a marker on a chromosome. It can be a gene but really only needs to be an identifiable location on the chromosome. Alleles differ in that they refer to a particular sequence of DNA at a given locus. The distinction from loci is that multiple alleles can exist for the same locus. http://www.informatics.jax.org/silverbook/glossary.shtml
What do you call the physical location of a gene?
The specific term is gene locus. If the exact location is known then there is more specific terminology that refers to the chromosome number whether the locus is on the short (p) or long (q) arm of the chromosome and it's specific location based on band and sub-band location.
What is the term for when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait?
The term is homozygous.This means that the alleles of a particular gene, at a particular locus on a specific chromosome, are the same.
What is the definition of homozygus?
Homozygous -It is the characteristic of having two identical alleles at the same locus of sister chromatids.homozygous means having identical alleles at corresponding chromosomal locus or the specific site of a particular gene on its chromosome
An individual with two identical alleles of a gene is?
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is known as a homozygote or a homozygous organism.
Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on heterologous chromosome true or false?
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
Can you please distinguish homozygous and heterozygous individuals?
When an organism contains two identical copies of the gene at a specific locus, it is known as homozygous. On the other hand, if it contains two different alleles, it is called heterozygous.
Is A heterozygous pair of alleles is identical?
When there are heterozygous alleles for a gene thy code for a different expression of the gene. For example, the gene to taste PTC paper is a single gene trait. A person will have two copies (or alleles) for that gene (one from their mothers DNA, one from their father). There are two possible expressions for this gene - either you can taste the chemical or you cannot. When one allele is for tasting, and the other for not tasting, this is known as heterozygous. Both alleles are relating to the same gene but they giving different instructions and are thus not identical. When this happens, the dominant gene wins - in this case tasting is expressed. If the alleles are identical, they are known as homozygous and they are identical.

What is homozyous?
Having different alleles at one or more corresponding chromosomal loci.
How are terms gene locus and allele related?
Gene locus is a specific location on an allele.
Why do the chromosomes in a homologous pair differ from one another?
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.

Different alleles of the same gene are found?
at the same place on homologous chromosomes source: Alleles of a gene reside at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
