Question

Describe how alleles and genes are related

Answer 1

Alleles are different forms of a gene. For example different alleles that code for different colors of a plant(yellow or green) or for different traits.(curly hair or straight hair)

Answer 2

DNA is composed of long strings of nucleic acid sequences, but not all of them code for proteins.But the ones that do are called genes.

Alleles are different versions of a certain gene.As an example, the gene that codes for blood type has 3 different alleles, A, B, an O. The genes that code for hair and eye color also have many different alleles.
