What is a gene? What is an allele? Give an example of 2 alleles of a human gene.Genetics:The transmission of characteristics from parents to their offspring is called hereditary. The possession of characteristics different from those of the parents and the offspring is called ...
Gene dominance is when genes compete with one another to exhibit traits from either parent. Complete dominance is when one allele for a gene is dominant and turns off the other allele for the gene. Incomplete dominance is when neither gene is dominant over the other and the genetic result is...
A gene is the basic unit of heredity. Genes are made of DNA that eventually makes functional molecules named proteins. The genetic information that will pass to the next generation is contained in the DNA of genes. Genes are part of chromosomes. Humans have two copies of each gene (and ...
The proportion of an allele in the gene pool as compared with other alleles at the same locus is termed as gene frequency.
Alleles are the versions of the gene that the organism receives from its parents. Each organism will get one allele from each parent. Each parent contributes half of the chromosomes for the offspring, and their chromosomes match up to provide the two alleles needed for each gene. There are...

An empirical evaluation of some genetic methods for identifying the number of gene pools and their degree of connectivity. Mol. Ecol. 15:1419-1439.Waples, R.S. & Gaggiotti, O.E. 2006. What is a population? An em- pirical evaluation of some genetic methods for identifying the number of...
alleles for a certain gene is heterozygous. So here are some possibilities of eye colour below: A person with two blue alleles will have blue eyes. A person with two brown alleles will have brown eyes. A person with one blue allele and one brown allele will have… Brown Eyes!
Gene Therapyin Monogenic Disease Monogenic genetic disease refers to a genetic disease controlled by one allele. There are more than 6600 kinds of monogenic diseases identified so far – this figure is increasing at an alarming rate of 10-50 every year and poses a great threat to human health...
What is a gene?A gene is a sequence of nucleotides that functions as the basic unit of heredity. Genes are passed on from parents to offspring and determine an individual's physical characteristics.Answer and Explanation: Gene expression is the process by which the information contained in a ...
