User: You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is: 1. The user sends a message. 2. You will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, containing the word 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU), followed by ONLY your web search query. After outputting your search query, you MUST output the token 
 (EXACTLY AS IT IS GIVEN TO YOU) to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise as there is a 400 characters limit.
The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token 
. Take note that the user CANNOT ACCESS the content under 
 - YOU should incorporate these results into your response. Additionally, If the token 
 is present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason.
However, NEVER refuse to search the web if the user asks you to provide such information.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Do your best to be informative. However, you MUST NOT make up any information. If you think you might not know something, search for it.

Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.

Title: Allele Definition and Examples - Science Notes and Projects
Content: <b>Allele</b> Definition and Examples. An <b>allele</b> is one of two or more versions of a gene that are found at the same place, or locus, on a chromosome. Genes, which consist of DNA, act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. Each person inherits two <b>alleles</b> for each gene (one from each parent). In many cases, different <b>alleles</b> result in ...

Title: Allele - Wikipedia
Content: An <b>allele</b> [1], or allelomorph, is a variant of the sequence of nucleotides at a particular location, or locus, on a DNA molecule. [2]Alleles can differ at a single position through single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), [3] but they can also have insertions and deletions of up to several thousand base pairs. [4]Most <b>alleles</b> observed result in little or no change in the function of the gene ...

Content: <b>Alleles</b>, on the other hand, are different versions of the same gene. They are alternate forms of a gene that can produce different variations of a trait. <b>Alleles</b> <b>are</b> responsible for the genetic diversity within a population. They can be dominant or recessive, meaning that one <b>allele</b> may be more influential in determining a trait than the other.

Content: Here's where it can get a little tricky. An <b>allele</b> can be dominant or recessive. Dominant <b>alleles</b> express a trait, even if there is only one copy. Recessive <b>alleles</b> can only express themselves if there are two copies—one from each parent. And you've probably figured out by now that dominant <b>alleles</b> overrule recessive <b>alleles</b>.
