alleles
A term used in those genetic conditions where a single syndrome is caused by different genes in different families, possibly due to the different environmental factors that have influenced them.
Alleles are different forms of the same gene. For example, if eye colour was coded for by just one gene, blue eyes would be one allele and green eyes would be another. Different genes, however, code for different things, so you might have a gene for eye colour and another for hair colour.
The blending of two genes refers to the combination of genetic material from two different sources, such as from two parents, resulting in offspring with a mix of traits from both parents. This process occurs during sexual reproduction when genetic information is exchanged between individuals, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.
One of the different alleles would be at the same gene locus on each of the paired chromosomes.
Homologous chromosomes in G1 phase are two chromosomes, one from each parent, that have similar genetic information but may have different versions of genes (alleles). They have the same genes arranged in the same order along the chromosomes, but they may have different variations of those genes.

This would be known as epistasis because one gene blocks another from expressing itself. Epistasis could also be the interaction between genes.
The difference between the two is that a homozygote is an organism that has two identical genes at the same place on two corresponding chromosomes and a heterozygote desribes a cell or orangism that has two or more different versions of alleles of at least one of its genes
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.

Alleles
A gene locus refers to the specific position of a gene on a chromosome, while an allele refers to different versions of the same gene that can exist at a particular locus. In other words, a gene locus is the physical location of a gene on a chromosome, while an allele is a specific variant or form of that gene found at that locus.
Alleles. Forms of a gene with slightly different DNA sequences; may encode slightly different versions of the genes product.
