allele

All living creatures inherit a pair of genes, one from each parent. The allele is one of those genes. If both allele's are the same it produces "normal" characteristics. If they are competing with one another the dominant allele's traits will win out. Identical alleles are homozygous and two different alleles are heterozygous.
