Correct Answer: allele


Solution : The correct option is allele.

An "allele" is a pair of opposing characters that regulate the same characteristic. Alleles are distinct variants of the same gene that occupy the same place on homologous chromosomes and might result in different variations or expressions of a feature. For example, the alleles for eye colour may be "brown" and "blue," with each influencing the same characteristic but yielding different results.
