alleles, plural;
  1. One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome


  1. (genetics) either of a pair (or series) of alternative forms of a gene that can occupy the same locus on a particular chromosome and that control the same character; "some alleles are dominant over others"
  2. (allelic) of or relating to alleles
  3. An allele ((UK), (US); from the Greek αλληλος allelos, meaning each other) is one of two or more forms of the DNA sequence of a particular gene.
  4. Allele (pronounced Uh-Leel) is an American Alternative metal band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 2002. Their line-up consists of five members: Wally Wood (vocals), Kelly Hayes (lead guitar), Josh Scott (rhythm guitar), Tim Tobin (bass), Giancarlo Autenzio (drums). ...
  5. One of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position on a chromosome
  6. (Alleles) Variant forms of the same gene. Different alleles produce variations in inherited characteristics such as eye color or blood type.
  7. (alleles) alternate forms of a gene or DNA sequence, which occur on either of two homologous chromosomes in a diploid organism.
  8. (ALLELES) Different versions of the same gene.
  9. (Alleles) Alternate forms or varieties of a gene. The alleles for a trait occupy the same locus or position on homologous chromosomes and thus govern the same trait. However, because they are different, their action may result in different expressions of that trait.
  10. (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.
  11. Alleles are gene variations, different forms of the same gene found in pairs, with pairs occupying various locations (loci) on chromosomes. Alleles can be thought of as genetic toggle switches which work to determine characteristics like eye color, hair color, height, facial features, etc. ...
  12. (alleles) [ah leelz´]   The genes that occupy the same relative location on both chromosomes of a pair.
  13. (Alleles) Another word for Genes
  14. (Alleles) Effect of combined pairs of alleles
  15. (alleles) One of several alternate forms of a gene which occur at the same locus on homologous chromosomes and which become separated during meiosis and can be recombined following fusion of gametes. [IUPAC Biotech, IUPAC Compendium]
  16. (alleles) Pair of inherited genes (alike or different) that affect a particular trait.
  17. One of the variant forms of a gene, differing from other forms in its nucleotide sequence.
  18. One version of a gene at a given location (locus) along a chromosome
  19. One of the normal alternate forms of a gene, located at a specific point on a chromosome, that accounts for a particular trait.
  20. either of the two paired genes which affect an inheritable trait.
  21. Different forms of a gene which occupy the same position on the chromosome.
  22. Alternative form 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).
  23. An alternative form of a gene.
  24. Alternate form of a gene or trait. For example, for the gene for ABO blood type, the possible alleles are A, B, and O.
  25. a particular form of a gene distinguishable from other forms of the same gene
