ALLELE - The definitive pronunciation guide for Allele in 2023
An allele is a variant form of a gene that is found at a specific location on a chromosome.
Genes are made up of DNA sequences, and each gene can have multiple alleles.
Alleles can determine the characteristics or traits that an organism has, such as eye color or blood type.
They can be either dominant or recessive, meaning that some alleles mask the effects of others.
The study of alleles and their distribution in populations is an important aspect of genetics.
Pronunciation:
To pronounce 'allele', you can say 'uh-LEEL' or 'uh-LEEL-ee'.
Alternatively, you can say 'uh-LEE-ul' or 'uh-LEE-ul-ee'.
Test yourself by speaking the following examples:

2. People with the sickle cell allele are more resistant to malaria
3. The frequency of the allele for lactose tolerance is higher in populations with a long history of dairy farming
4. Mutations can result in new alleles being introduced into a population
