Concept explainers
A.
To distinguish: Between gene and allele.
Concept introduction: Genes are the DNA sequences that can control a particular trait. Alleles are the different forms of a particular gene, and they can occur in pairs. They can be classified into dominant or recessive and homozygous or heterozygous. Homozygous organisms carry two copies of the identical allele, while heterozygous organisms carry two dissimilar alleles in one copy. Genotype is the total genetic composition of an individual, while

They can be classified into dominant or recessive and homozygous or heterozygous. Homozygous organisms carry two copies of the identical allele, while heterozygous organisms carry two dissimilar alleles in one copy. Genotype is the total genetic composition of an individual, while phenotype is the visible characteristics of a person. Dominant is used to describe a strong gene, while recessive is used to describe a weak gene.
