1902 W. Bateson Mendel's Princ. Heredity i. 28 It follows that as each zygotic union of allelomorphs is resolved on the formation of the gametes, no zygote can give rise to gametes collectively representing more than two characters allelomorphic to each other, apart from the new variation.
1958 K. G. Brocklehurst & H. Ward Gen. School Biol. xxii. 303 The alternative characters, round or wrinkled cotyledons and yellow or green cotyledons, are caused to develop by factors of two allelomorphic pairs.
2010 Jrnl. Urol. 183 685/1 The presence of allelomorphic A is related to susceptibility to IgA nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome and renal failure.
