Where Is Allelic Gene Found?

An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.

Where are the allelic genes located?

The genotype of a specific gene is represented by each pair of alleles and the allele contributes towards the organism's phenotype which is defined as the outward appearance of an organism. Complete answer: Two allelic genes are located on two homologous chromosomes.

Where do alleles occur?

Allele, also called allelomorph, any one of two or more genes that may occur alternatively at a given site (locus) on a chromosome. Alleles may occur in pairs, or there may be multiple alleles affecting the expression (phenotype) of a particular trait.
