What is meant by term Allelomorphs?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Two British geneticists,  William Bateson, and Edith Rebecca Saunders are credited for discovering the term" allelomorph" which is also called an allele. It basically represents the variants or the traits of a single gene. Also, some of the variants(alleles) have the capacity to be expressed in a phenotypic character in contrast to most of the alleles that are not able to cause a variation by themselves alone.
