Two alleles represent a gene.
ETC- The paternal (fathers) allele is B (for brown eyes)
The mothers (maternal) is b ( for blue eyes)
The capital B is the dominant allele, lowercase b is recessive.
Therefore, a punnet square will show the offspring can be either hetrozygous or homozygous (recessive or dominant)
Alleles represent the charactersitic, while a gene is a segment of DNA where heredity is based.

What is multiple aleles?
Multiple alleles indicates that either the study is being conducted on alleles at more than one gene locus, that the characteristic being studied is controlled by several alleles at different loci or that there are two or more alleles at a single gene locus.
Two different forms of the same gene are called?
Alleles
What is it called when an organism that has two alleles that are the same?
the organism that have two identical alleles would be called homozygous for that particular gene.
What is the gene pair consit of dominant alleles or to two recessive alleles?
homozygous
What is the number of alleles in a gene?
An allele of a gene resides on a chromosome; as there are typically two chromosomal copies in an individual Cell, there are typically two alleles of each and every gene in the individuals genome, or its genetic complement.
What is a gene trait?
A single-gene trait is a phenotypic trait controlled by two homologous alleles.
WHAT is single gene trait?
A single-gene trait is a phenotypic trait controlled by two homologous alleles.
Is A heterozygous pair of alleles is identical?
When there are heterozygous alleles for a gene thy code for a different expression of the gene. For example, the gene to taste PTC paper is a single gene trait. A person will have two copies (or alleles) for that gene (one from their mothers DNA, one from their father). There are two possible expressions for this gene - either you can taste the chemical or you cannot. When one allele is for tasting, and the other for not tasting, this is known as heterozygous. Both alleles are relating to the same gene but they giving different instructions and are thus not identical. When this happens, the dominant gene wins - in this case tasting is expressed. If the alleles are identical, they are known as homozygous and they are identical.

What are two forms of a gene called?
The two different molecular forms of a gene are called alleles.

What is a trait controlled by a single gene that has two alleles?
widows peaks,straight hair,colored hair
What is a gene pair called when is consist of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
Homozygous
Gene pairs consists of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles?
A gene pair that consists of a dominant allele and a recessive allele is called a heterozygous gene. A homozygous gene, meanwhile, is a gene pair consisting of two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
What is the gene pair consit of dominant alleles or to two recessive alleles?
homozygous
When a gene has more than two alleles the condition is known as?
multiple alleles
