So, nuclear genes come in allelic pairs that are often subtly different from each other. Gametes that result from meiosis are haploid and carry only a single allele (in this example, alleles A ...

Relative allele frequency is the percentage of all copies of a certain gene in a population that carry a specific allele. This is an accurate measurement of the amount of genetic variation in a ...

Similar genes occupy the same position on both chromosomes in the pair. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. Dominant alleles will be expressed even if a recessive allele is present. Recessive ...
