Solution
The correct option is B Allele
An allele is a modified form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are placed at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. In a diploid organism e.g. human beings, one that has two copies of each chromosome, two alleles make up the individual's genotype. An allele is an alternative form of a gene that is placed at a specific position on a specific chromosome.
