Expert Solution
Step 1: Allele

A gene, a heritable component that regulates a particular characteristic of an organism, is known as an allele. 
Alleles are distinct versions of a gene that share the same genetic locus on a chromosome. Heterozygous individuals inherit different allele types from each parent at the same locus.

Having high heterozygosity indicates a wide genetic variation. Slight genetic variation is associated with low heterozygosity.
