alternate versions of a gene
If a fern plant is heterozygous for a particular trait, it means it carries two different alleles for that trait. The alleles can be described as one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele will typically determine the physical expression of the trait, while the recessive allele will not be visibly expressed in the plant.
The alleles controlling the character in a heterozygous pea plant can be described as one dominant allele and one recessive allele. The dominant allele determines the plant's phenotype, while the recessive allele is masked in the presence of the dominant allele.

Dominant alleles :-)
Alleles that are the same = homozygous Alleles that are different = heterozygous
Alleles
diploid.
One dominate, one recessive
D) the change in frequencies of alleles due to random events
One or more pairs of alleles
E. Multiple alleles. Multiple alleles refers to a gene that has more than two alleles which can result in a larger number of possible trait variations. This is different from traits that are controlled by dominant and recessive alleles, or exhibit incomplete dominance.
When the members of a gene pair are identical, the organism is described as homozygous for that trait. This means both alleles, one inherited from each parent, are the same, whether they are dominant or recessive. Homozygosity can influence the expression of traits, as both alleles will produce the same phenotype. In contrast, if the alleles are different, the organism is heterozygous.

Alleles
If parents supply different alleles for a certain trait to their offspring, the offspring are described as heterozygous for that trait. This means they possess two different alleles, one inherited from each parent. In contrast, if the offspring received the same allele from both parents, they would be termed homozygous for that trait. The expression of the trait may depend on whether the alleles are dominant or recessive.
