Which traits are likely to be different alleles of the same gene? Check all that apply.

•Thick eyebrows and thin eyebrows
•A large nose an oval face
•Curly hair and straight hair
•Blond hair and curly hair

Respuesta :

thick eyebrows/thin eyebrows
curly hair/straight hair

Answer:

The correct answers would be:

  • Thick and thin eyebrows
  • Curly and straight hairs.

A gene is defined as a protein coding sequence of nucleotides which controls the phenotype of a particular character.

Usually, a gene exists in two alternative forms which are termed as alleles. The alleles control different phenotypes of the same character.

For example, tall and short plant, round and oval shape of a pea, green and yellow pea color, et cetera.

Similarly, Thick and thin eyebrows and curly and straight hairs are examples of alleles of a gene.

In contrast, large nose and oval face are two different characters which are controlled by two different genes.

Similarly, blond and curly are two characters of hairs (color and type) and thus, they are controlled by different genes.
