Expert Solution

Step 1

Alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that are located on the same locus of a homologous chromosome with contrasting characteristics. In case of diploid (2n) organisms a particular gene has two alleles (except in case of multiple allelism), one is dominant and another is recessive in nature. According to the Mendelian law of dominance, the heterozygous individuals will express only the dominant allele.
