Two different forms of a single gene are called alleles.
Alleles are variations or alternate versions of a gene that occupy the same position (locus) on homologous chromosomes.
They can lead to different phenotypic traits or expressions of a particular characteristic.
For example, a gene responsible for eye color may have different alleles for blue eyes and brown eyes.
