How are alleles for the same gene related? A. They have different genetic sequences but are found in the same location on a chro
mosome. B. They have the same genetic sequence but are found in different individuals. C. They have the same genetic sequence but are found on different chromosomes. O D. They have different genetic sequences and are found on different chromosomes.
A. They have different genetic sequences but are found in the same location on a chromosome.
Explanation:
In genetics, alleles are the variant form of a gene. According to Mendel, there are usually two alleles for most genes except for few cases where there are multiple alleles. Each allele of a pair is contributed by each parent during sexual reproduction. For example, in a gene Tt, the alleles are T for tallness and t for shortness.
Alleles of the same gene are related in such a way that they have different genetic sequences but are found in the same location on a chromosome. The different genetic sequences makes them alternative form of each other.
