The alternative form of given gene are called:
- A
Dominant
- B
Recessive
- C
Phenotype
- D
Alleles
Fact.
"Allele" is the word that we use to describe the alternative form or versions of a gene.
Whereas Dominant refers to the relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive two versions of each gene, known as alleles, from each parent. If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed; it is the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
And The observable characteristics in an individual resulting from the expression of genes are called phenotype.
This option is incorrect.
