Question

Which of the following is a term used to refer to a gene variant?

  1. Mutation

  2. Allele

  3. Locus

  4. None of the above

hintHint:

The different versions of a nucleotide sequence present at a specific locus.

The correct answer is:

Allele


    • A gene has two alleles.
    • The alleles are the variants of a gene.
    • The allele can be same or different.
    • If the alleles are same, it is called homozygous condition.
    • If the alleles are different, it is termed as heterozygous condition.
    • The presence of a dominant allele will suppress the effect of the recessive allele.
