Question

Two factors responsible for the contrasting pairs of a character in Mendelian crosses are called_________.

• A. alloloci
• B. paramorphs
• C. allelomorphs
• D. multiple alleles

Answer 1

The correct option is C

allelomorphs

Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that can occupy the same locus on a particular chromosome and that control the same character.
Example: Tall (T) and dwarf (t) are alleles for a single character i.e. height of a pea plant.
