An allele is all the possibilities for a gene, a gene is what a living thing has. They are the same thing as far as i am concerned but I'm sure someone else out there can answer this better than I.

∙ 13y agoGenes determine traits. Alleles are a number of different forms of a gene. Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. Phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism. So they all relate with traits and heredity.

A gene whose code is not expressed unless a similar allele is present is called an?
recessive gene
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.
What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is 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
A gene whose code is not expressed unless a similar allele is present is called an?
recessive gene
Is allele a gene?
yes an allele is a gene

What is the alternate form of a gene?
The answer is allele
Alternative versions of a gene?
One or more forms of a gene that codes for a specific trait is also known as an allele
What is a different between allele and gene?
an allele is a gene that is the cause of hereditary variation

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
Is an allele larger than 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 a type of gene?
Do you mean allele? An allele is a different molecular form of the same gene.
How are terms gene locus and allele related?
Gene locus is a specific location on an allele.
