An allele is the first option, a variant form of a gene. It is a specific version of a gene that determines a particular trait or characteristic. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. These alleles can be either the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous), and they can determine the expression of the trait in an offspring.
