Genes are located on chromosomes and are responsible for the transmission of hereditary information. Alleles are different forms of the same gene. They are usually distinguished by their location on a chromosome, by their sequence of DNA, or by the proteins they encode. Alleles can be dominant or recessive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genotype_of_Allele\"><\/span>Genotype of Allele<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. It is made up of the organism&#8217;s genes, which are the basic units of inheritance. Genes are passed from parents to their offspring.<\/p>\n<p>An allele is a variant form of a gene. Alleles arise through mutations, which are changes in the DNA sequence of a gene. Alleles can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral.<\/p>\n<p>The genotype of an allele is the genetic makeup of the allele. It is made up of the allele&#8217;s DNA sequence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_of_Allele\"><\/span>Example of Allele<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many different alleles that can exist for a particular gene. For example, there are alleles for eye color, blood type, and hair color. Each allele is a different variation of the gene.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_Between_a_Gene_and_an_Allele\"><\/span>Difference Between a Gene and an Allele<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein. An allele is a variant of a gene. Alleles can have different effects on the protein that they code for, depending on the sequence of DNA. For example, one allele of the gene for hair color might code for blond hair, while another allele might code for brown hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allele Definition An allele is a variant of a gene.
