allelváltozatok

Allelváltozatok, also known as alleles, are alternative forms of a gene that occupy the same locus on a chromosome. They are responsible for the variation in genetic traits within a population. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. If the two alleles are the same, the individual is homozygous for that gene. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous. The presence of different alleles can lead to variations in physical traits, such as eye color or blood type, as well as variations in how an organism responds to its environment. Alleles can be dominant, recessive, or codominant, determining the expression of traits in heterozygous individuals. The study of allelváltozatok is crucial in genetics, as it helps explain inheritance patterns and the diversity of life.
