Having only one allele for a given gene means that there is no second copy of that gene present. This can be significant because it can lead to genetic disorders or traits being expressed more strongly, as there is no backup copy of the gene to compensate for any potential mutations or deficiencies.
Having two different alleles is said to be....?-Heterozygous
Being heterozygous for a gene means having two different alleles at a particular gene locus. One allele is dominant and the other is recessive. This can result in a combination of traits expressed in an individual.
Alternative versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are different forms of a gene that can result in distinct traits or characteristics. These variations in alleles contribute to genetic diversity within a population.
Allele frequency refers to the proportion of a specific allele in a population's gene pool. For example, in a population of birds, the allele frequency for the gene that determines feather color might be 0.7 for the brown allele and 0.3 for the white allele.
An allele is a specific version of a gene, while a genotype refers to the combination of alleles that an individual has for a particular gene. In simpler terms, an allele is like a variation of a gene, and a genotype is the specific genetic makeup of an individual for that gene.
It is the variant form of a given gene
How often a certain allele (or trait) occurs in a certain population.
yes an allele is a gene
Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the proportion of a particular allele (variant of a gene) among all allele copies being considered. It can be formally defined as the percentage of all alleles at a given locus in a population gene pool represented by a particular allele.
The answer is allele
Every gene has a dominant and recessive allele, homozygous is just when a gene has either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
an allele is a gene that is the cause of hereditary variation
an allele
An allele is a gene. It is one form of a gene. For example, height in pea plants is controlled by one gene with two forms. A pea plant can be tall or short. There is a short allele and a tall allele for the gene governing height.
Do you mean allele? An allele is a different molecular form of the same gene.
allele
A dominant allele is a form of gene that masks the presence of a recessive allele when both are present in an individual. This means that the trait associated with the dominant allele will be expressed in the phenotype. Dominant alleles are typically represented by uppercase letters.
