Expert Solution
Step 1

The alleles are the alternative forms of a gene that are located on the same locus of a homologous chromosome. 

In case of diploid organisms an individual has 2 alleles of a gene and can be homozygous or heterozygous in nature. In case of heterozygous, only the dominant allele will be expressed.
