A different or alternate form of the same is gene is called and "allele".  Sometimes they can cause different observable changes in the phenotypic traits.  However, they normally cause little or no variation in traits.

Answer:

Alleles

Explanation:

Different forms of one gene are called alleles. Alleles of the same gene occupy the same locus of a specific chromosome. A gene can have two or more than two alleles. Irrespective of the number of alleles of a gene, all the alleles of the same gene regulate the same feature.

For example, ABO blood type in human is regulated by three alleles: IA, IB and i. All these alleles regulate ABO blood type only.

Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that causes gradual deterioration of the muscles. It is seen almo
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

This disorder is caused by a recessive allele, its inheritance is sex-linked.

Explanation:

The disorder affects boys born to unaffected parents, this means that at least one of them has to be a carrier of the allele which causes the disease. So, if the allele was dominant, it would express in parents and sons. But, in this case, only is expressed in sons, so it can´t be dominant. Moreover, this condition has a sex-linked inheritance because it is always seen in boys and never in girls. This happens due to boys only have an X chromosome, so if they inherit the recessive allele of the disease, they will express it. On the other hand, girls have two X chromosomes, so if they inherit one copy of the recessive allele, they will be carriers and they won't be affected.  

This disorder is never seen in females because they need to have two copies of the recessive allele. However, to have double copy, they should inherit one copy from their mothers and one copy of their fathers, but boys with the allele are affected and they die in early teens without having progeny.  Therefore, a girl can't have a "carrier-father", so they will never have two copies to express the disorder.
