Alleles
A gene can have multiple forms, which are called Alleles. While a single gene may code for a trait in an organism, when multiple alleles exist for that gene, each different may produce a different character of that trait. For example, a person has two copies of the gene that codes for ABO blood type. There are three different alleles for this gene, A, B and O. This results in six different combinations of the alleles that the person can have (the genotype), which in turn results in four expressions of the gene in the person (called the phenotype), which is the blood type of the person.
The different forms of a gene for a specific trait, such as height, are called alleles. These alleles can vary in terms of their specific DNA sequences, ultimately resulting in different phenotypic expressions of the trait. For example, in the case of height, an individual may inherit alleles for tall or short height from their parents, leading to variation in their own height.

The organism that has two different alleles for the same trait is called heterozygous. This also refers to a cell or an individual that has two different forms of gene.
Genes can have different forms, known as alleles, that produce variations in a specific trait. These alleles can be dominant or recessive, determining which form of the trait is expressed in an individual. Additionally, some alleles can be co-dominant or show incomplete dominance, leading to unique phenotypic outcomes.
