Alleles are different forms of a gene. For example, blue eyes vs. brown eyes.

One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation andare found at the same place on a chromosome.
An allele is one member of a pair or series of different forms of a gene. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allele[/url]
