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.
Incomplete dominance is a trait that can result when an organism receives genes for two different forms of the same trait. In this case, neither form of the trait is fully expressed, leading to a blending of the two forms.
trait
A trait that is not expressed when another is present is referred to as a recessive trait.
When two or more forms of a gene for a single trait exist, some forms of the gene may be dominant, while others may be recessive. Dominant alleles can mask the expression of recessive alleles in a heterozygous individual. This variation leads to different phenotypes depending on the combination of alleles an organism possesses.
Alleles are different forms for a trait
The trait could show up in two different forms. Alleles are individual units that determine what trait will be expressed in an offspring. Alleles exist for most traits such as hair color or wing size. Having two alleles simply means that the trait can be expressed in different variation. One trait can have several different alleles.

trait
Alleles are different forms of the same gene, each producing a unique variation of a specific trait. Alleles can be dominant or recessive, and individuals inherit two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
