One member of a pair of homologous genes in a diploid cell. An individual with identical alleles at a genetic locus is a homozygote; one with non-identical alleles is a heterozygote. In a case in which one allele leads to an observable gene product and the other has no phenotype, the functional allele is said to be dominant and the non-functional allele recessive.
