- Alleles & Homologous Chromosomes
- gene can exist in more than one form
- called alleles
- order of bases in each allele slightly different
- code for slightly different versions of same polypeptide
- order of bases in each allele slightly different
- called alleles
- 23 pairs of chromosomes, 46 in total
- pairs of matching chromosomes - homologous pairs
- both chromosomes are same size & have same genes
- could have different alleles
- alleles coding for same characteristic found at same locus on each chromosome
- could have different alleles
- both chromosomes are same size & have same genes
- pairs of matching chromosomes - homologous pairs
- gene can exist in more than one form
