An example of a gene would be the X and Y chromosomes carried by the father. If the father can pass either gene to his offspring to get either a girl or a boy.

Difference between a gene and an allele?

The alleles are the different forms of the gene. This is simplified, but an example might be, if the gene is "eye color," the alleles would be "green, blue, brown, etc." The variations in the gene are the alleles.

What is meant by dominat and ressesivegene give an exampleof each?

A dominant gene refers to a gene that is expressed over another gene in the same position on a chromosome. It will always show its trait in the individual's phenotype if it is present in their genotype. For example, if a person inherits a dominant gene for brown eyes, they will have brown eyes regardless of whether they also have a recessive gene for blue eyes. On the other hand, a recessive gene refers to a gene that is not expressed when there is a dominant gene present. It is only expressed in the phenotype when there are two copies of the recessive gene in the genotype. An example is the gene for blue eyes, which will only be expressed when an individual has two copies of the recessive gene and no dominant gene for brown eyes.
