  1. allele
    Type: Term Pronunciation: ă-lēl′ Definitions: 1. Any one of a series of two or more different genes that may occupy the same locus on a specific chromosome. As autosomal chromosomes are paired, each autosomal gene is represented twice in normal somatic cells. If the same allele occup...

  3. Allele
    One half of a 'gene pair'. Each 'gene' consists of two alleles. An allele is a segment of 'genetic instructions' that affect a trait or characteristic.

  4. allele
    (allelomorph). Any of one or more alternative forms of a given gene; both (or all) alleles of a given gene are concerned with the same trait or characteristic, but a particular allele codes for a product qualitatively and/or quantitatively different from that coded by other alleles of that gene.
