n

An allele is one of a pair of genes that appear at a particular location on a particular chromosome and control the same characteristic, such as blood type or colorblindness. Alleles are also called alleleomorphs.
Your blood type is determined by the alleles you inherited from your parents. If your mother's blood type is A and you know she's homozygous (that is, her alleles are the same, both of them A) and your father's blood type is O (since type O is a recessive trait, he would have to be homozygous, too), then you’ve inherited an A and an O allele — and your blood type is A.
