\nAlleles are different versions or forms of the same gene. They arise through mutations and are located at the same position (locus) on homologous chromosomes.
\n<\/section>\n
\nFor example, the gene for flower color might have two alleles: one for purple flowers and one for white flowers. These different alleles determine the variation in traits observed within a population.
\n<\/section>\n
\nGenotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, i.e., the combination of alleles it possesses for a particular trait or set of traits. Sib pairs are simply siblings. Isomers are chemical compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.
