For every single gene trait there is a pair of alleles, one on each of the pair of chromosomes carrying the gene. You inherit one chromosome of each pair of chromosomes from your father and one from your mother. Thus, you inherit one allele from your father (who only had two alleles for that trait) and one from your mother (who also had only two alleles for that trait).
