Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Heterozygous refers to having different alleles for a particular trait. If the two versions are different, you have a heterozygous genotype for that gene.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dominant: The allele which shows its full expression in a population. Recessive: The allele which is unable to show its full expression or expresses very less in a population.
