Gene interactions in which an allele at one locus prevents the expression of an allele at another locus is called?
This phenomenon is called epistasis. It occurs when the effect of one gene masks the effect of another gene at a different locus. Epistasis can result in complex patterns of inheritance.
What are the different forms of a partictular gene?
Alleles are the various forms of genes at a select gene locus. There can be only one allele or several.
How are the terms gene pool and allele frequency related?
total no of diversity of plants is equal to total no of genes
Are alleles more than genes or genes more than alleles in eukaryotic cells?
An allele is essentially the same as a gene so there is no difference in quantity between the two in any cell. Gene is a more common general reference to genetic material at a particular locus whereas allele often refers to an example of variation at a gene locus. For example the allele for tall (T)
What is meant by alleles?
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.
How are the terms genes locus and allele related?
1. A gene is a piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein, a locus is a specific position on a pair of homologous chromosomes, and a allele is any of the alternative forms of a gene that may occur at a specific locus.
What are examples for the word allele?
The term allele is often used interchangeably with the word gene. Allele/gene is used for the variations seen at each gene locus for a trait on the homologous chromosome pair. For example: If there are three alleles for a trait only two of the alleles will be represented in the genotype of any one individual. The alleles for basic blood types A, B and O are examples. In general the term allele is not used interchangeably with gene in conjunction with the terms locus or loci..therefore Gene locus or gene loci but not allele locus or allele loci.

Two form of the same gene is called?
An indiviual letter in a punnett square representing a gene is called an allele. The two genes ( one from each parent ) together is a genotype. There isn't really two forms of a gene.
What are the different forms of a partictular gene?
Alleles are the various forms of genes at a select gene locus. There can be only one allele or several.
How are the terms gene pool and allele frequency related?
total no of diversity of plants is equal to total no of genes
What is meant by allele frequence?
How often a certain allele (or trait) occurs in a certain population.

A locus the location of an allele on a chromosome?
It defines location of a gene on a chromosome. Also, it means a genetic susceptibility factor. It is usually a part of a chromosome when disease is analyzed and broke down. Cancer or heart disease.
How are alleles frequencies related to gene pools?
The frequency of the allele represents the percentage of that allele in the gene pool
