Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -"Allele” is the word that we use to describe the alternative form or versions of a gene. People inherit one allele for each autosomal gene from each parent, and we tend to lump the alleles into categories. Typically, we call them either normal or wild-type alleles, or abnormal, or mutant alleles.
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.
