Detailed explanation-1: -Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genes carry the information that determines your traits (say: trates), which are features or characteristics that are passed on to you-or inherited-from your parents. Each cell in the human body contains about 25, 000 to 35, 000 genes.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is responsible to carry genetic information that is inherited from one generation to another. The region where information is coded is called gene.
Detailed explanation-4: -Parental genes are randomly separated to the sex cells so that sex cells contain only one gene of the pair. Offspring therefore inherit one genetic allele from each parent when sex cells unite in fertilization.
Detailed explanation-5: -trait. distinguishing characteristics that are inherited, such as eye color, leaf shape, and tail length.
