A. alleles

Genes usually come in pairs. But they tend to appear in different parts of the chromosome. These genes that appear on a particular chromosome are called alleles. Alleles, give a person a dominant trait that he/she inherited from his/her parents. If an allele is dominantly leaning on the gene side of the mother, one could possibly inherit her blood type or even her colorblindness.

The correct answer is alleles.
While conducting experiments, Mental understood that each trait of the pea plants were controlled by two alleles and depending on those the plant would have different characteristics.

An allele is a variant form of a gene, so for example, in the gene that codes the color of the plant, the alleles could code for green or yellow.
