WHAT DOES MULTIPLE ALLELISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Allele

An allele, or allel, is one of a number of alternative forms of the same gene or same genetic locus. It is the alternative form of a gene for a character producing different effects. Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. However, many genetic variations result in little or no observable variation. Most multicellular organisms have two sets of chromosomes; that is, they are diploid. These chromosomes are referred to as homologous chromosomes. Diploid organisms have one copy of each gene on each chromosome. If both alleles are the same, they and the organism are homozygous and the organisms are homozygotes. If the alleles are different, they and the organism are heterozygous and the organisms are heterozygotes. The word "allele" is a short form of allelomorph, which was used in the early days of genetics to describe variant forms of a gene detected as different phenotypes. It derives from the Greek prefix ἀλλήλ, allel, meaning "reciprocal" or "each other", which itself is related to the Greek adjective ἄλλος, meaning "other".
