One gene provides the information for on specific protein for one purpose. However, there can be many different variants of this gene due to permutations in the genetic code. This can means more than one type of gene being present in the general population for just one protein, which can change the resulting product (protein). The scientific term for this is allele.

What is an alternate forms of genes?
An Allele
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.
What is the difference between epistasis and dominance in genetic inheritance?
Epistasis occurs when one gene masks the expression of another gene, while dominance is when one allele of a gene is expressed over another allele. In epistasis, the interaction between genes affects the phenotype, while in dominance, one allele is dominant and determines the phenotype.
What is the weaker allele in a pair of genes?
Recessive Allele
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 do we call genes that are hidden when paired with a different allele in genetics?
Genes that are hidden when paired with a different allele in genetics are called recessive genes.
What is the difference between genotype and allele in terms of genetic inheritance?
Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an individual, while allele refers to the specific form of a gene that an individual inherits from their parents. Genotype encompasses all the genes an individual has, while allele specifically refers to the variations of a gene that can be passed down from parents to offspring.
What is called when you have a pair of genes that cnsits of a dominant allele and a recessive allele?
heterozygous
What is a recessive genes?
Recessive is a relative term used to describe the relationship to another allele termed the dominant allele. That traits of the recessive allele will only be shown if the person has two copies of the recessive allele. If a dominant allele is present, then the recessive trait will not be shown.
Different forms of genes are called?
different form of genes are called allele
Allele in gene or gene in allele?
An allele is a specific variant of a gene, which is a unit of hereditary information. Genes can have different alleles that produce variations in traits. Therefore, alleles exist within genes as different versions or forms of the same gene.
