How can alleles be?

Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that may differ in their nucleotide sequence, leading to variations in traits. Genes come in pairs, with one allele inherited from each parent, contributing to an individual's genotype and phenotype. Alleles can be dominant or recessive, influencing the expression of traits in an organism.
