The alleles are the different forms of the gene. This is simplified, but an example might be, if the gene is "eye color," the alleles would be "green, blue, brown, etc." The variations in the gene are the alleles.

What is a different between allele and gene?
an allele is a gene that is the cause of hereditary variation
What is the difference between a gene allele Chromosome and trait?
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
Is allele a gene?
yes an allele is a gene
What is the difference between dominant and Codominance?
The difference between dominant and codominance is power, influence and importance which defines the word dominant. Codominance is an allele gene individuals receive by both parents which is two versions of a gene in relationship to each other.
Allele in gene or gene in allele?
Alleles are the specific form of a gene e.g. gene for 'eye colour, allele for 'blue eyes'. Therefore the alleles are in the genes.
Are alleles more than genes or genes more than alleles in eukaryotic cells?
An allele is essentially the same as a gene so there is no difference in quantity between the two in any cell. Gene is a more common general reference to genetic material at a particular locus whereas allele often refers to an example of variation at a gene locus. For example the allele for tall (T)
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
What is e difference between a dominate and recessive allele?
The answer is that The difference is that dominant dominates, and recessive is dominated.
Alternative versions of a gene?
One or more forms of a gene that codes for a specific trait is also known as an allele
Is an allele bigger then a gene?
An allele is a gene. It is one form of a gene. For example, height in pea plants is controlled by one gene with two forms. A pea plant can be tall or short. There is a short allele and a tall allele for the gene governing height.
What is member of a gene pair that determines a specific trait is?
an allele
What gene is defined as a gene that controls the appearance of a certain trait?
the dominant allele
