Answer / guest
Genes can exist in different versions, which differ in the
nucleotide sequence ,these versions are known as alleles.
A mutation can alter either the gene product itself, its
regulation (when, where and how much is produced).

Answer / pritesh chitte
Alleles are pair of two or more than two genes which control the same trait or character e.g Blood group alleles are A,B and O which how ever control the same character of Blood antigen (Glycosyl transferase)
However Mutation is the variants in the gene segment.But the question would arise the alleles also contain two genes which infact are variants.
so exactly what the difference is thatsuppose when you screen 100% plants if occurence of particular trait is less than 1% then it is in category of mutant.However if more than 1% then it will be considered to be an independent allele for that trait

Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?
