Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Genes may exist in several alternate forms called
A
Alleles
B
Clones
C
Purines
D
Pyrimidines
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"Alleleā€ is the word that we use to describe the alternative form or versions of a gene. People inherit one allele for each autosomal gene from each parent, and we tend to lump the alleles into categories. Typically, we call them either normal or wild-type alleles, or abnormal, or mutant alleles.

Detailed explanation-2: -When there is a gene existing in more than two allelic forms, this condition is referred to as multiple allelism. Allelism refers to any of the several forms of a gene. These genetic variations arise usually through mutation and therefore are responsible for hereditary variations.
