PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that allele. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each variation of a gene is called an allele (pronounced ‘AL-eel’). These two copies of the gene contained in your chromosomes influence the way your cells work. The two alleles in a gene pair are inherited, one from each parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -Different versions of a gene are called alleles. Alleles are described as either dominant or recessive depending on their associated traits.

Detailed explanation-4: -Different versions of the same gene are called alleles.

Detailed explanation-5: -They can be identical, but they can often have slight differences. Alleles, therefore, include all the variant forms of a particular gene.
