hey buddy.....

An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.

hope it helps you

Answer:

Hey Buddy here's ur answer

An allele is one of a pair of genes that appear at a particular location on a particular chromosome and control the same characteristic, such as blood type or color blindness.

Alleles are also called alleleomorphs. Your blood type is determined by the alleles you inherited from your parents.

How are new alleles created?

Occasionally, DNA mutations occur in germ cells or cells destined to become eggs or sperm. In this case, the DNA mutation is copied into every new cell of the growing embryo following fertilisation.If the mutation affects a gene, it will result in a new version of that gene or a new allele.

Function:

An allele is a viable DNA coding that occupies a given locus on a chromosome. Usually alleles are sequences that code for a gene.
