What is different between two alleles of the same gene?

A. Their location. For example, one allele might be at the end of one chromosome, while the other allele is in the middle of another chromosome.
B. The cell they are in. For example, one might be in a liver cell, while the other is in a blood cell.
C. The information they carry. For example, one allele might carry the information for blue eye pigment, while the other carries the information for brown eye pigment.
D. The chromosome number they are on. For example, one allele might be on chromosome 12, while the other one is on chromosome 3.

Because hydrogen bonds hold the two strands of a DNA molecule together, the strands can be separated without breaking any covalent bonds. Every unique DNA molecule "melts" at a different temperature

In this context, Tm(melting temperature) is the point at which two strands separate, or become denatured. Order the DNA sequences listed below according to relative melting temperatures (from lowest Tm to highest Tm). Assume that they all begin as stable double-stranded DNA molecules. Explain your answer. A. GGCGCACC B. TATTGTCT C. GACTCCTG D. CTAACTGG
