What are examples for the word allele?

The term allele is often used interchangeably with the word gene. Allele/gene is used for the variations seen at each gene locus for a trait on the homologous chromosome pair. For example: If there are three alleles for a trait only two of the alleles will be represented in the genotype of any one individual. The alleles for basic blood types A, B and O are examples. In general the term allele is not used interchangeably with gene in conjunction with the terms locus or loci..therefore Gene locus or gene loci but not allele locus or allele loci.


What term is used to describe organisms that pass the same form of trait?

The term used to describe organisms that consistently pass the same form of a trait to their offspring is "homozygous." Homozygous organisms have two identical alleles for a particular gene, meaning they express the same trait consistently. This contrasts with "heterozygous" organisms, which have two different alleles for a gene and may express a mix of traits.
