Heredity
All chromosomes consist of genes and non coding material. Animals with chromosomes arranged in the double helix pattern have two almost identical genes on the chromosomes opposite from the other. When those two genes in particular are discussed, they are called alleles. Frequently one is expressed and one is not, or one is dominant and the other is not.
The only relationship is the 'chrom', meaning 'color'
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
Chromosomes are the form of DNA during mitosis.
Yes. Crossing over (or recombination) shuffles sequences between homologous chromosomes. The resulting chromosomes have different combinations of alleles from the original chromosomes.

The gene loci are the sites where the alleles reside on the DNA strand. Alleles at the same gene locus on each chromosome pair will determine the phenotypic expression of that gene pair. Of course this explanation is incomplete when more complex interactions between alleles come into play
homologous chromosomes exchange alleles during crossing over.
