Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that can occupy a specific location on a chromosome. Each individual has two alleles for each gene, one inherited from each parent. These alleles may be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous), and can determine the specific characteristic or trait expressed by an organism.
