Which statement describes the relationship between chromosomes, genes, and alleles? A. Alleles transfer genes to the appropriate location within a chromosome. B. Alleles are sites on a chromosome that genes bind to. C. Chromosome's have mutated parts called genes. These mutations are caused by alleles. D. A chromosome's specific section is called a gene. Alleles are variations of a gene.

Sagot :

D is the best of the options given. Alleles are different versions of a gene. A given gene is localized (located) in a specific location on a chromosome. A chromosome consists of genes. There are many different versions of genes out there. (i.e. the gene for hair color could have an allele coding for black, blond, red, brown, etc. colored hair. That allele would be where you find the gene for hair color on the chromosome.) Hope this helps! :)
