All alleles contain DNA. They are the genes. An allele is one form of a gene. For example, the gene for flower color in pea plants has two alleles, one for purple flower color, and one for white flower color.

How are alleles and genotypes related?
DNA is composed of long strings of nucleic acid sequences, but not all of them code for proteins. The ones that do are called genes. Alleles are different versions of a certain gene. For example, the gene that codes for blood type has 3 different alleles, A, B, and O. The genes that code for hair and eye color also have many different alleles.
When performing a DNA test to establish maternity do all the alleles have to match?
No, because some of the alleles will match the father; however, all of the alleles must either match one of the mother's alleles or one of the father's alleles.
What macromolecule is made up of nucleic acids?
DNA and RNA are made up of nucleic acids.
Are genes are made up of smaller molecules known as chromosomes?
No, chromosomes are made of genes and DNA. Gene sequences make up DNA, and this DNA is coiled up and makes up chromosomes.
What term defines a gene made up of two diffrent alleles?
Heterozygous
How alleles and genes related?
Genes and alleles are related because alleles are inside a gene. Genes are made up by alleles. A gene is DNA. The allele is like piece of DNA inside a gene.
What are alleles made out of?
alleles are an expression of a gene given in chromosomes, which is coded by DNA, which in turn is made by the ribosomes , which in turn is made up of proteins. Short answer: they are made up of proteins.
How are genes chromosomes and alleles related?
Well, Alleles are a forms of genes that can be dominant or recessive,a gene is a part of a strand of DNA, and a strand of DNA is made up of genes Hope This Helped
What makes up a chromosome?
DNA moleculetwo sets of alleles

The actual gene make up of an organism?
proteins->alleles->dna->cell->organism. Your question is ambiguous.
Is it the gene that contains the DNA or the DNA that contains the gene?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA is made up of genes.
A chromosome is made up of DNA and protein in the nucleus of a cell?
Wrong, Chromosones are made up of DNA and DNA contains genes.
What are two common uses for DNA testing?
DNA Fingerprinting, and Testing for alleles.
Is mapping the process that DNA to form new alleles?
no, you must first create a DNA model like a twisted ladder then you find your pattern that was created to form the new alleles.
What term defines a gene made up of two alleles?
Heterozygous
When performing a DNA test to establish maternity do all the alleles have to match?
No, because some of the alleles will match the father; however, all of the alleles must either match one of the mother's alleles or one of the father's alleles.
