Principles of heredity, established by Gregor Mendel, describe how traits are passed from parents to offspring through genes. Alleles are different versions of a gene that determine specific traits; they can be dominant or recessive. The combination of alleles inherited from each parent influences the phenotype, or observable characteristics, of an organism. Thus, understanding alleles is essential for applying Mendel's principles to predict inheritance patterns.
Heredity
Smelly two shoes
Mendel discovered three principles of heredity: the Law of Segregation (allele pairs separate during gamete formation), the Law of Independent Assortment (genes for different traits are inherited independently), and the Law of Dominance (some alleles are dominant over others).
Multiple alleles is a type of heredity in which one gene has more than two alleles. For example, in humans the gene for blood group has three alleles, A, B, and O. Even though there are three alleles in the population, a person can only inherit two alleles, one from his/her mother and one from his/her father.

The study of heredity and the inheretance of genes through alleles is called Genetics.

heredity and genetics
Mendel discovered the three principles of heredity: the law of segregation (alleles separate during gamete formation), the law of independent assortment (alleles for different traits are inherited independently), and the principle of dominance (one allele is expressed over another in the phenotype).
Heredity
Alleles are alternate forms of the same gene. A gene is the basic physical unit of heredity that is passed on from a parent to their children.
Gregor Mendel developed principles of heredity.
The alleles are carried by the genes found inside the nucleus of a cell. The gene is the basic unit of heredity.

its very important :))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The 3 main points of how traits are inherited are: 1)Traits are controlled by alleles on chromosomes. 2) An allele's effect is dominant or recessive. 3)When a pair of chromosomes separates during meiosis, the different alleles for a trait move into separate sex cells.

Two alleles for a trait separate when gametes are formed.
