Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Alleles are the alternative form of the gene that occupies the same locus on homologous chromosomes and therefore governs the same trait. The alleles for a gene are segregated and delivered singly to gametes by the process of segregation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase-I of meiosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Allele: An allele is an alternate version of a gene. This is also known as a variant of a gene. They are caused by differences in the sequence of the DNA at a specific position within a gene.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that govern the same feature, such as flower colour, and occupy corresponding positions on homologous chromosomes.
