The answer to the above question is alleles.

<h3>What are Alleles?</h3>

The two nucleic acids in living things that are employed for conveying and storing genetic information are RNA and DNA. The genetic material in living things is called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and it contains sections coding for beneficial proteins and products as well as carrying genetic information from one generation to the next. These chunks are referred to as genes.

However, genes also have a different form that is in charge of the genetic diversity in the qualities they are coding for. Allele refers to a gene's alternative or variant version. In a diploid creature like the human, each trait is encoded by genes that include contrasting pairs of alleles, allowing variation for that specific trait, i.e. two alleles for each gene. For instance, a gene with two alleles that codes for one of the human height traits includes the short variety (t) and the tall variety (T).
