- (genetics) either of a pair (or series) of alternative forms of a gene that can occupy the same locus on a particular chromosome and that control the same character; "some alleles are dominant over others"
- (allelic) of or relating to alleles
- An allele (UK /u02C8u00E6liu02D0l/ or US /u0259u02C8liu02D0l/), or allel, is one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene or same genetic locus. Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. However, most genetic variations result in little or no observable variation.
- Allele (pronounced Uh-Leel) is an American Alternative metal band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 2002. Their line-up consists of five members: Wally Wood (vocals), Kelly Hayes (lead guitar), Josh Scott (rhythm guitar), Tim Tobin (bass), Giancarlo Autenzio (drums). ...
- One of a number of alternative forms of the same gene occupying a given position on a chromosome
- (Alleles) Variant forms of the same gene. Different alleles produce variations in inherited characteristics such as eye color or blood type.
- (alleles) alternate forms of a gene or DNA sequence, which occur on either of two homologous chromosomes in a diploid organism.
- (ALLELES) Different versions of the same gene.
- (Alleles) Alternate forms or varieties of a gene. The alleles for a trait occupy the same locus or position on homologous chromosomes and thus govern the same trait. However, because they are different, their action may result in different expressions of that trait.
