Detailed explanation-1: -An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gene is defined as a section of DNA that encodes for a certain trait. An allele is defined as a variant form of a gene. It determines an organism’s genotype. It determines an organism’s phenotype.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dominant: The allele which shows its full expression in a population. Recessive: The allele which is unable to show its full expression or expresses very less in a population.
Detailed explanation-4: -Complementary Genes. Supplementary Genes. Duplicate Genes. Polymeric Genes. Sex-linked Genes.
