Solution
The correct option is C Alleles
Normally, every gene has two alternative forms for a character producing different effects. These alternative forms are called as alleles. For example, in the character of tongue rolling (projecting the tongue out of the mouth in the form of a tube), there are two possibilities - either one can roll the tongue or one cannot. Thus, there are two alleles for this gene -one for rolling and one for non rolling.
