What is an example of allele?

Answer 1

Hair colour...

Your hair color is determined by your alleles. Alleles are types of genes that can change your phenotype, or how you look on the outside. They can be dominant or recessive, and a person can be homozygous, meaning they have the same alleles, or heterozygous, meaning they have different types of alleles.
