How is an allele different from a gene?

Answer Posted / 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.

The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?
