One of two or more variations of a particular gene is called an allele. Every individual possesses a minimum of two alleles for a particular gene. The organism is referred to as homozygous for that gene if they are identical. They are referred to as heterozygous for that allele if they differ (Option B is correct).
An organism’s set of heritable genes that can be passed down from parents to children is known as its genotype.
A person’s observable characteristics, like height, eye color, and blood type, are known as their phenotype.
