The different DNA sequence for a gene shows that same character can be expressed in 2 or more forms. Alleles are present on homologous chromosome.

Explanation:

The gene is the DNA sequences on the chromosome coding for the particular trait in an organism.

The alleles are the variant of the gene. In a homologous chromosome the variant of the gene or allele is present. The homologous chromosome is present in progeny one from each parent.

For example the allele for tall as homozygous is present on one of the parent and shortness on the other parent in homologous chromosome. The trait of height is the gene and the way it expresses itself is the trait from either parent. The DNA sequence will also be different for the alleles because they will code for different proteins like short or tall phenotype.

The genotype will be different hence DNA sequence is also changed.

kiruha [24]

The R group of the proteins are side chains which are specific to each protein and which confer specific chemical properties to the proteins. The R group determines the size, polarity and the pH of the protein.
In the case of the protein where the amino acid containing a polar R group is replaced with another amino acid containing non polar R group, the TERTIARY structure of the protein might be affected. Structure will be affected if the protein is hydrophillic and the R group is hydrophobic.

When we see chiasmata under a microscope, that lets us know which of the following has occurred?

ioda

When we see chiasmata under a microscope, that lets us know that prophase I has occurred. During this phase of meiosis, the nuclear envelope breaks up and disappears, and so does nucleolus. The chromosomes become visible at this point.
