Q. Genes located at the same locus of chromosomes are called

AIPMTAIPMT 1997Molecular Basis of Inheritance

Solution:

Genes located on the same locus of chromosomes are called multiple alleles. They are produced due to repeated mutations of the same gene but in different directions. Multiple alleles being located on the same locus do not show crossing over.
