alternative form of a character

Dear Student,

Alleles are the alternative form of a gene present on homologous chromosomes. They occupy the same position on a chromosome and affecting the same characteristic but in alternative ways. For example a gene responsible for height can have two alleles one is for tallness and other is for dwarfness.

P.S. The question is not clear. I have, however, answered it as per my understanding. In case, there is any discrepancy, kindly complete the question and post it again.
