Allele MCQs
Hello students! We will be discussing about some part of genetic which includes ‘Allele’. Gregor Mendel is the father of genetics and famous for studying pea plants. When he was studied pea plants, he noticed that the plant was having different characteristics like Shape of the seed, colour of the flower and size of the plant. The characteristics are also known for the ‘Traits’. So, basically nucleus of the cell contains DNA that is genetic material and gene is the portion of DNA. The pea plant has different traits like if we talk about size of the plant then it can be short and tall. So, each trait has a different forms and these forms are known as ‘Alleles’.
Following MCQs will help you to know more about ‘Alleles’.
