Genes can exist in different versions, which differ in the
nucleotide sequence these versions are known as alleles.

Answer / vijayasai
Gene is a general term that referes to a particular
character. For e.g., Hair colour is controlled by a gene.
However, there are various colours of hair are present.
e.g.,black hair and brown hair. These two versions of hair
colour are nothing but the alternate forms of a gene which
are called as ALLELES.The alleles of a same gene can differ
from each other by the presence of different nucleotides at
a spcific position. i.e. nuleotide polymorphism. Some times
the alleles can be either homozygous or heterozygous for a
given gene. Following mendelian genetics, one allele is
inherited from one of the parents.

Answer / pritesh chitte
Genes are the short nucleotide sequence which encodes for a diffusible product for a particular trait i.e.character e.g.Gene for tallness
Alleles are pair of two genes (mostly homologous but not necessarily to be) which codes the two different phenotype but for same trait or character

Answer / vijay
alleles are similar to gene. but the thing thing is they
modified..may be the two genes re united to form new
allele..
like the blood group 'AB' which has derived from the
individual blood groups 'A'and 'B'..

normally on which plants generally genetic studies are being made?
what are transpoons?
Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?
Describe how the genotype of an organism can influence the phenotype associated with a particular allele?

what is the role of Beta-lactamase in Gene Cloning ?
A number of plant species have a recessive allele for albinism; homozygous albino (white) individuals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll. If a tobacco plant heterozygous for albinism is allowed to self-pollinate and 500 seeds germinate: a)how many offspring will be the same genotype as the parent? b)how many seedlings would you expect to be white?
What is the difference between Sex-Linked and Sex- Influenced diseases?
What is gene expression
In cucumbers normal leaves (N) are dominant to curled leaves (n) and elongated fruit (L) is dominant to spherical fruit and these genes are linked on the same chromosome. If a pure-breeding normal-leaved, elongated fruit cucumber is crossed with a curled-leaved, spherical fruit cucumber, what will be the phenotype of the F1? the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
