Which of the following best describes a person's genotype?
The alleles that a person has The genes that a person has
Different forms of gene?
Alleles are the different types of genes.
What is the relationship between genes and alleles?
The 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 autosomal disorders in humans are controlled by dominant alleles?
Dominant allele disorders are single gene disorders which take effect in the heterozygous state.
Different versions of the same gene are called?
Different versions of the same gene are called
What is the number of alleles in a gene?
An allele of a gene resides on a chromosome; as there are typically two chromosomal copies in an individual Cell, there are typically two alleles of each and every gene in the individuals genome, or its genetic complement.
Which of the following best describes a person's genotype?
The alleles that a person has The genes that a person has
How many alleles are usually in the gene pool for each trait?
Each gene has a dominate and recessive allele, so there are two types of alleles in each gene. The dominate allele is stronger than the recessive allele unless there are two recessive alleles.
How many alleles can be in each gene?
1
What three or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait called?
A gene can have multiple forms, which are called Alleles. While a single gene may code for a trait in an organism, when multiple alleles exist for that gene, each different may produce a different character of that trait. For example, a person has two copies of the gene that codes for ABO blood type. There are three different alleles for this gene, A, B and O. This results in six different combinations of the alleles that the person can have (the genotype), which in turn results in four expressions of the gene in the person (called the phenotype), which is the blood type of the person.
Are alleles of a gene always the same as each other?
No they are alternative versions of a gene.
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.
What term is used for each form of a gene?
alleles
How many allels per gene are there in each stage of meiosis?
there are the same number of alleles per gene in each stage of meiosis since the number of alleles per gene only tells the possible differences in a gene, such as the alleles for blue, green, and brown eyes being the possible traits to be combined.
What do you call a person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a gene?
We call a gene that has two different alleles heterozygous.
What is an autosomal dominant trait?
When the gene is dominant and the traits are autosomal.
Different forms of gene?
Alleles are the different types of genes.
