Allele
Allele: An alternative form of a gene. One of the different forms of a gene that can exist at a single locus (spot on a chromosome). Also one of the different forms of any segment of a chromosome. Found op http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.html?articlekey=2193

allele
<genetics> Any one of a series of two or more different genes that occupy the same position (locus) on a chromosome. ... Since autosomal chromosomes are paired, each autosomal locus is represented twice. If both chromosomes have the same allele, occupying the same locus, the condition is refer...

allele
(ә-lēl´) one of the two or more alternative forms of a gene that can occur at a particular chromosomal site (locus), and which determine alternative characters in inheritance.

Allele
An allele (l or l) is one of two or more forms of a gene or a genetic locus (generally a group of genes). The form "allel" is also used, an abbreviation of allelomorph. Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. However, many v... Found op http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele

Allele
Alternative form of a genetic locus; a single allele for each locus is inherited from each parent (e.g., at a locus for eye color the allele might result in blue or brown eyes). Found op http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/glossary/glossary.shtml

allele
One of two or more variant forms of a gene at a particular locus, or location, on a chromosome. Different alleles (Gr. allelon = 'of one another') produce variation in inherited characteristics such as hair color or blood type. In an individual, one form of the allele (the dominant one) may be expre... Found op http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/A/allele.html

allele
One of two or more alternative forms of a gene at a given position (locus) on a chromosome, caused by a difference in the sequence of DNA. This is best explained with examples. A gene which controls eye colour in humans may have two alternative forms – an allele that can produce blue eyes, and an ...
