>Right, this is starting to get confusing, lol. Okay, Indeed alleles are variants of a locus.

Clarification. A locus is a particular location on one of the chromosomes in the genome. An allele is one of the variant forms of the gene at that locus. If the genome is like a housing development, then a locus is a particular street address, and an allele is one of the different types of houses that could be built at that street address.
