The Synthesis of "allele"

Discover alleles, the different versions of a gene that determine our unique traits like eye color and blood type. Learn how they shape who we are.

A simple explanation of recessive alleles, the genetic instructions that only appear if inherited from both parents, influencing traits and diseases.

Discover the power of a dominant allele in genetics. Learn how this single gene variant expresses its trait over its recessive counterpart.

Discover allele frequency, a key concept in population genetics that measures how common a gene variant is within a population.

Discover what a genotype is, how it differs from a phenotype, and why this fundamental concept in genetics determines your unique inherited traits.

Discover co-dominance, a genetic pattern where both alleles are fully expressed. Learn how it works with examples like human ABO blood types.

Explore incomplete dominance, a genetic pattern where a heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous parents. Learn how it works.

Discover gene flow: the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. Learn how it impacts evolution and genetic diversity.

Discover genetic drift, the random change in gene frequencies in a population. Learn how this key evolutionary force shapes life's diversity.

Discover the gene pool: the total genetic diversity within a population. Learn why it's crucial for evolution, conservation, and human health.
