The statements that are true regarding alleles are as follows;

  • Alleles exist on homologous chromosomes (option A)
  • Alleles are different forms of a gene (option C)

What are alleles?

Alleles are one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position, or locus, on a chromosome.

On the other hand, homologous chromosomes are similar but non-identical chromosomes from each parent of an offspring.

The alleles for a trait occupy the same locus or position on homologous chromosomes and thus govern the same trait. However, because they are different, their action may result in different expressions of that trait.

Therefore, options A and C are the true statements regarding alleles.
