Mutations can alter alleles, leading to changes in protein structure or function.
In Mendelian genetics, offspring inherit one allele from each parent for a particular trait.
The presence of different alleles can result in variations in physical characteristics.
Geneticists study the distribution of alleles within populations to understand inheritance patterns.
In pea plants, a heterozygote for seed color may have one allele for yellow seeds and one for green seeds.
