Genetic information is the combining of alleles and their outcome. Chromosomes form alleles and chromosomes are formed inside of a cell.
A cell with two identical alleles for a particular gene is called homozygous. This means that both copies of the gene, one inherited from each parent, are the same. For example, if the alleles are for a trait like flower color, a homozygous cell could have two alleles for purple flowers. In contrast, a cell with two different alleles for a gene is called heterozygous.
Organisms inherit their alleles from their parents. In sexual reproduction, the alleles are usually inherited from two parents. In asexual reproduction, the alleles are inherited from a single cell and are genetically identical to the parent.

No - some traits are polygenetic (such as for skin color, eye color, hair color, etc.) and will have multiple alleles.
An allele is one form of a gene. Alleles separate into separate sex cells during meiosis.

alleles
The alleles are carried by the genes found inside the nucleus of a cell. The gene is the basic unit of heredity.
Heterozygous induviduals pass the dominant and recessive alleles to offspring
A cell is said to be homozygous for a particular gene when identical alleles of the gene are present on both homologous chromosomes. For example, if the alleles are AA or aa the cell is homologous for that trait. It is heterozygous if it is Aa
