Definition
Diploid organisms like humans carry two copies of each
autosomal chromosome (paired homologous chromosomes)
and thus, also two copies of every autosomal
gene. One of the paired chromosomes (one of the two
copies of a gene) of an individual is transmitted by the
father, the other by the mother. The sequence (order of
base pairs) of the two copies of a gene does not have to
be completely identical due to normal variation (polymorphisms)
or  mutations. Alleles are the different
(alternative, non-identical) forms of a gene or DNA
sequence at a specific genomic/chromosomal position
(locus). An individual can only possess two alleles at
each specific position on a pair of homologous chromosomes,
but a group or population may contain a lot of
different alleles at a certain locus.

Nature Cures says Hippocrates, and not without a reason, because humankind had become older and healthier, due, in first place, to an education in nutrition, a healthy nutrition education become more and more relevant in health, with civilization and development. We are what we eat and in the same way we react to external invasion to our bodies with the immune system we built.
