Alternate forms of the same gene

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alternate forms of the same gene are called alleles. They exist as different versions of a gene on homologous chromosomes and can be present in the same individual. Therefore, option A and C are incorrect. Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome and not alternate forms of a gene, so option B is incorrect. Homologs are pairs of chromosomes that have the same genes but not necessarily the same alleles, so option D is not the best choice.
