Answer:

An allele is a variant of a gene. Everyone has at least 2 alleles for every gene. Because of this, humans are known as diploid organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genes are the complex proteins that give us hereditary traits such as hair and eye color. But genes mutate, with at least 2 copies per single gene. These copies are known as alleles.
