Why should anyone use his "own words" when there's a

al・lele (?-l¶l") n. One member of a pair or series of genes

Where is this specific position on a specific chromosome ?

Depends on which 'gene' you are talking about and which organism.
Every 'gene' has a specific location on a chromosome. That is what
geneticists call a 'gene locus'.

This is
what noshell referred to - show us the gene and point to us the exact
position of this "allele" thingy.

Take any gene and show where on this gene is the allele thing.
