Definition of allele in English: allelenoun ˈaliːləˈlil Genetics Each of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome. 〔遗传〕等位基因。亦称ALLELOMORPH Also called allelomorph Example sentencesExamples - These genes have multiple alleles and are expressed either in the stigma or in the pollen.
- We have no two plant lines that are identical for all alleles of genes yet differ appreciably for genome size.
- Variation within a population is due to the presence of multiple alleles of a gene.
- This result is consistent with the idea that the five members of the group are alleles of the same gene.
- In the case of electrons, nine alleles had point-like mutations and three had rearrangements.
Derivativesadjective əˈliːlɪk Genetics In contrast to the human situation this gene displays reduced allelic variation. Example sentencesExamples - If the two genes carry different alleles, then the allelic genealogy states only that they are different.
- An allelic series of mutations is a powerful genetic resource for understanding gene function.
- The map positions indicate that the affected genes are not allelic.
- Positions are defined independently of the allelic states of the genes that reside there.
