Gene locus is a specific location on an allele.
This is called epistasis.
Alleles are the various forms of genes at a select gene locus. There can be only one allele or several.
total no of diversity of plants is equal to total no of genes
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)
Allele frequency, or gene frequency, is the proportion of a particular allele (variant of a gene) among all allele copies being considered. It can be formally defined as the percentage of all alleles at a given locus in a population gene pool represented by a particular allele.
1. A gene is a piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein, a locus is a specific position on a pair of homologous chromosomes, and a allele is any of the alternative forms of a gene that may occur at a specific locus.
The term allele is often used interchangeably with the word gene. Allele/gene is used for the variations seen at each gene locus for a trait on the homologous chromosome pair. For example: If there are three alleles for a trait only two of the alleles will be represented in the genotype of any one individual. The alleles for basic blood types A, B and O are examples. In general the term allele is not used interchangeably with gene in conjunction with the terms locus or loci..therefore Gene locus or gene loci but not allele locus or allele loci.

An indiviual letter in a punnett square representing a gene is called an allele. The two genes ( one from each parent ) together is a genotype. There isn't really two forms of a gene.
They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles. An allele is a form of a gene, differing from other alleles of the gene by a few bases at most and occupying the same locus as the other alleles of that gene. The gene locus is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Hope that helped! They have the same length and gene locus but differ in terms of alleles.

Allele
Alleles are the various forms of genes at a select gene locus. There can be only one allele or several.
total no of diversity of plants is equal to total no of genes
How often a certain allele (or trait) occurs in a certain population.
