As alleles we consider the different forms of the same gene. Alleles are copies of genes with some modification that alters the [[phenotype]] in some way. They are detected only when the differences in [[phenotype]] can be detected.

Definition of Allele:
One of several alternate forms of a gene that occurs at the same relative position (locus) on homologous chromosomes.
This is the common definition for Allele, other definitions can be discussed in the article


Notes

Alleles are copies of genes with some modification that change the phenotype in some way. They are detected when the differences in phenotype can be detected.[2]
