Ok, it says here in a book that I was reading that chromosomes were made of DNA and so are genes. Does that mean that genes are a fragment of our chromosomes that are designed for a specific function?
Here's another one. There's such a thing called homolugous chromosomes. Does that mean that one comes from the mother and the other comes from the father because the gene loci are identical and the alleles are varied in some cases?
Is the allele, then, a form of gene that perform the same function but are an alternative form instead?
