The Work of Gregor Mendel
... Where two or more alleles for a gene exist, some may be dominant and others recessive. In sexually reproducing organisms, offspring receive a copy of each gene from each parent. The alleles segregate when forming gametes. Alleles for different genes usually segregate independently. ...

Extensions to Mendel`s Observation Types of Dominance
... How do new alleles in any one gene arise? By mutations. When a mutation causes one specific change in a gene (such as a single nucleotide substitution at the DNA level) this produces a new form of the gene i.e. a new allele. ...
