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: -Answer and Explanation: Different forms of a gene are known as alleles. One gene has two pairs of alleles, generally one is dominant and one is recessive. This means that you could have one copy of each allele but the dominant one will be the one that is displayed.
Detailed explanation-3: -A given gene may have multiple different alleles, though only two alleles are present at the gene’s locus in any individual.
