Genes is found in the DNA. It decides a specific characteristic. Genes can transform and take two or more option structures and these structures are called Alleles. Presently allele happens in an altered spot in a chromosome and in people we have two arrangements of chromosomes.

There are 46 chromosomes in the human. 23 from the dad, 23 from the mother = 46 chromosomes.
