Answer: d. a form of a gene

Step-by-step explanation:

An allele is one of a pair of genes that appear at a particular location on a particular chromosome and control the same characteristic, such as blood type or color blindness. Alleles are also called allelomorphs. Your blood type is determined by the alleles you inherited from your parents.
