Alternative versions of a gene?

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.


What are different types of genes called?

Different types of genes are called alleles, which are alternate forms of the same gene that can produce variations in a trait. Additionally, there are also different categories of genes such as regulatory genes, structural genes, and non-coding genes that play various roles in controlling different biological processes.


What are genes with three or more alleles called?

this makes no scientific sense. A gene (which determines a phenotypic trait) can only contain 2 alleles. However codominace allows for multiple alleles to be chosen from, but only 2 picked for a gene. Also, if multiple genes determine a phenotypic trait that's polygenic inheritance.


Mutations in these genes lead to transformation in the identity of entire body parts?

Homeotic genes, also known as Hox genes, are responsible for controlling the identity and positioning of body parts during embryonic development. Mutations in these genes can lead to dramatic changes in body structure, such as transformations in the identity of entire body parts.


What are the master control genes?

Well, inside the cell, chemicals activate the control gene (which is just one specific gene). The gene tells the cell what structures they should become and when. Also the control gene switches on dozens of other genes in the cell, and it also controls the other cells in time and space.

Why has it taken so long to decide how many genes are in the human genome?

· Presence of the UTRs in the first and last exons makes it difficult to annotate the genes, and the human genes have 40% non-coding first exons UTRs thus making it difficult to decide how many genes are in the genome.· Most gene finders cannot handle alternative splicing, cannot handle overlapping or nested genes and also algorithms are trained with sequences from known genes which biases them against genes about which nothing is known
