Alleles are forms of a gene, which are located in the DNA of an organism, typically found in chromosomes that reside in a nucleus (eukaryotes).

Where is genetic information located in a cell?

Genetic information is the combining of alleles and their outcome. Chromosomes form alleles and chromosomes are formed inside of a cell.


How does the alleles move?

Alleles are passed from parents to offspring through the process of inheritance during reproduction. Alleles are located on chromosomes, which are found in the cell nucleus. When gametes (sperm and egg cells) are formed, alleles segregate and are randomly distributed to the offspring, resulting in genetic variation.


The separation of alleles is called?

The separation of alleles is called segregation. During meiosis, alleles located on homologous chromosomes are randomly sorted into daughter cells, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.


Is crossing over possible in multiple alleles?

Yes, crossing over can occur between multiple alleles located on the same chromosome. This can lead to the exchange of genetic material between different alleles during meiosis.


Different froms of the same gene are called and their precise locations are?

alleles are located in the chromosomes.


Two different forms of the same gene are called?

Alleles


Is there a greater chance of crossing over between some pairs of alleles than between others?

Yes, some alleles are more likely to cross over during meiosis than others. The likelihood of crossing over between two alleles depends on the distance between them on the chromosome. Closer alleles have a lower chance of crossing over, while alleles located farther apart are more likely to undergo crossing over.


What are contrasting forms of genes called?

Alleles


What type of alleles mask recessive alleles?

Dominant alleles :-)
