Detailed explanation-1: -Alleles are versions of the same gene with slight variations in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences among alleles of the same gene contribute to each person’s unique characteristics.
Detailed explanation-2: -Homologous chromosomes have the same genes arranged in the same order, but they have slightly different DNA sequences. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles (uh-LEELZ); homologous chromosomes often contain different alleles.
Detailed explanation-3: -An allele is one of two or more versions of DNA sequence (a single base or a segment of bases) at a given genomic location. An individual inherits two alleles, one from each parent, for any given genomic location where such variation exists. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele.
