One of the pure unit characters commonly existing singly or

themselves. Allelomorphs which under certain circumstances
are themselves compound are called {hypallelomorphs}. See

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.
