Which describes the genes on each pair of chromosome?
alleles can be different; genes are in the same order
alleles must be the same; genes are in different order
alleles can be different; genes are in different order
alleles must be same; gene are in same order
I think its C for this first question
Fixed
A little help here?
Yes, you are correct. The correct answer is C: "alleles can be different; genes are in different order."
To understand why this is the correct answer, let's break it down:
- Alleles can be different: Genes are segments of DNA that carry the instructions for specific traits. Each gene can have different variations called alleles. For example, a gene for eye color can have alleles for blue, green, or brown eyes. Therefore, alleles can be different for each gene.
- Genes are in different order: Within a pair of chromosomes, genes are located in the same relative positions. However, the exact order of genes can be different between the two chromosomes of a pair. This variation in gene order contributes to the genetic diversity between individuals.
By understanding these concepts, you can determine that option C accurately describes the genes on each pair of chromosomes.
