A gene is one of two or more variants of an allele. An allele is a section of a chromosome that usually contains the code for a particular protein.
 
 B.
A gene is a section of an allele. An allele is a section of DNA that usually contains the code for a specific protein that determines a specific trait.

an allele basically is one version of the gene. 

Think of siblings. One might be taller than the other. One might have blue eyes while others have brown. Same genetic making, but different alleles.

What is produced from any parent cell that undergoes meiosis?
 
 A.
four haploid cells
 
 B.
two diploid cells
 
 C.
four diploid cells
 
 D.
two haploid cells

inexilewetrust · Answer

When a parent cell undergoes meiosis, it produces two daughter cells, I am not sure if it is diploid or not.

anonymous · Answer

Okay so B is my best bet?

inexilewetrust · Answer

Sorry, but in some aspects of biology I am rusty as I have not touched these concepts since my freshman year.

inexilewetrust · Answer

I really don't know.

anonymous · Answer

I will go

anonymous · Answer

Okay I will go with B...

inexilewetrust · Answer

Okay from what I see, I see two DIPLOID daughter cells.

inexilewetrust · Answer

Yeah, B is your best bet.
