1. Alleles
   Alternate forms of genes. Because genes occur in pairs in body cells, one gene of a pair may have one effect and another gene of that same pair (allele) may have a different effect on the same trait.

2. Alleles
   Alternate forms of a gene or DNA sequence, which occur on either of two homologous chromosomes in a diploid organism. (See DNA polymorphism.)

3. alleles
   Different forms or variants of a gene found at the same place, or locus, on a chromosome. Assumed to arise by mutation.

4. alleles
   Mutually exclusive forms of the same gene, occupying the same locus on homologous chromosomes, and governing the same biochemical and developmental process. ... (12 Dec 1998) ...

5. alleles
   Alternative forms of a genetic locus; a single allele for each locus is inherited separately from each parent (e.g., at a locus for eye color the allele might result in blue or brown eyes).

6. Alleles
   The different forms of a gene. A and a are different alleles of the gene that determines albinism. Alleles occupy the same locus, or position, on chromosomes.

7. alleles
   (Gk: allel one another) alternative forms of the same gene which can mutate into each other. They lie on the same place on a particular chromosome and affect the same processes.

8. Alleles
   different versions of the same gene (found at the same locus but in homologous chromosomes or in different individuals) that may produce different phenotypes.
