\Al*le"lo*morph\, n. [Gr. ? of one another + Gr. ?
form.] (Biol.)
One of the pure unit characters commonly existing singly or
in pairs in the germ cells of Mendelian hybrids, and
exhibited in varying proportion among the organisms
themselves. Allelomorphs which under certain circumstances
are themselves compound are called {hypallelomorphs}. See
{Mendel's law}. -- {Al*le`lo*mor"phic}, a.
      As we know that the several unit characters are of such
      a nature that any one of them is capable of
      independently displacing or being displaced by one or
      more alternative characters taken singly, we may
      recognize this fact by naming such characters
      allelomorphs.                            --Bateson.
