I had the same problem but i found out that a gene is a small segment of a DNA strand. I'm sorry i don't know how long the gene segment is but DNA is made up of many genes segments put together.

∙ 13y agoAlleles are members of a pair or series of genes that occupy a position in a chromosome. Quite simply, alleles are little segments of a chromosome. For an example, imagine a chromosome and remove a small section of a chromatid. That's an allele.

∙ 14y agoA gene has several parts. In most genes, the protein-making instructions are broken up into relatively short sections called exons. These are interspersed with introns, longer sections of "extra" or "nonsense" DNA. Genes also contain regulatory sequences, which help determine where, when, and in what amount proteins are made.
