Answer / guest
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'..

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?

The gene for tallness (T) is dominant over the gene for shortness (t) in pea plants. A homozygous dominant pea plant is crossed with a heterozygous pea plant, and 200 seeds are produced. Approximately how many of these seeds can be expected to produce plants that are homozygous dominant?
