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.

∙ 9y agoThe gene loci are the sites where the alleles reside on the DNA strand. Alleles at the same gene locus on each chromosome pair will determine the phenotypic expression of that gene pair. Of course this explanation is incomplete when more complex interactions between alleles come into play

What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
What is the difference between a variant and an allele?
None.
What factor determines whether the frequency of the new allele will increase?
Which factor might determine whether the frequency of the new allele will increase in a population where a mutation occurs?
What is the difference between a gene allele Chromosome and trait?
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
What is the principle of allele specific oligonucleotide polymerase chain reaction?
Allele specific PCR is used in the process of DNA fingerprinting where specific alleles Can be amplifies and the degree of similarity or difference between individuals can be determined.
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
What is the difference between an inactive allele and an expressed allele?
The inactive allele is invisible in an organism while an expressed allele is the dominant allele and therefor is the phenotype.
What is the difference between a variant and an allele?
None.
What is the difference between factor of safety and safety factor?
There is no difference between "factor of safety" and "safety factor." They are two ways of saying the same thing.
A factor that seems to disappear?
a recessive allele
Is the difference between a dominant and recessive allele?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
What factor determines whether the frequency of the new allele will increase?
Which factor might determine whether the frequency of the new allele will increase in a population where a mutation occurs?
What is a synonym for allele?
allelomorph, gene, cistron, factor
What is the difference between finding a factor and finding a multiple?
a factor is what you multiply by a multiple is the answer
What is the difference between a gene allele Chromosome and trait?
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
What is the difference between cm3 and liter?
A factor of 1000
What is the difference between a biotic factor an an abiotic factor?
Biotic = Living Abiotic = Non-Living there is a lot of difference between a thing that is living and a thing that is non living.
