Alleles are

a) Alternate form of a gene
b) Homologous chromosomes
c) Pairs of sex chromosomes
d) None of these


kvnmurty: A chromosome contains (base pairs of) DNA strands. A DNA strand contrains many genes. A gene is part of DNA. Gene encodes the function (gene expression). Allele is a variant or alternate form of gene. Allele = Allelomorph = another form.
A gene can have multiple forms resulting in inherited traits being unique for each form. like eye color, hair color. Each form is an allele of a gene. So genes are part of chromosomes.
