Allele

Not to be confused with Adele, Alibi, or A seal.

In this phenotype, Big Boy is shown in black paint, which results from the dominant allele.

The rare Golden Record is the phenotype of a recessive allele.

Alleles are the different variants of a gene that come from mutation and are found in the same particular location. In this game of slots, the alleles of the offspring stem from those of the parents and are chosen randomly. Some alleles have never been seen before, such as the lack of gasoline in seals, an autosomal recessive trait. This is because there are little to no carriers of the trait.
