Question

Different versions of the same gene are called \rule{1.5cm}{0.4pt} . These versions arise as a result of changes in the sequence of \rule{1.5cm}{0.4pt}that forms the gene. These changes are known as\rule{1.5cm}{0.4pt} . An individual with two identical copies of a given gene is described as being \rule{1.5cm}{0.4pt}for that gene, while an individual with two different versions of that gene is described as\rule{1.5cm}{0.4pt}

Different versions of the same genes are called alleles\underline{\text{alleles}}. These versions arise as a result of changes in the sequence of nucleotides\underline{\text{nucleotides}} that forms the genes. These changes are known as mutations\underline{\text{mutations}}. An individual with two identical copies of a given gene is described as being homozygous\underline{\text{homozygous}} for that gene, while an individual with two different versions of that gene is described as heterozygous\underline{\text{heterozygous}}.
