Difference between Allele and Gene

Allele vs. Gene

An allele is a variant form of a given gene. In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Similarities between Allele and Gene

Allele and Gene have 24 things in common (in Unionpedia): Blood type, Chromosome, Dominance (genetics), Epigenetics, Evolution, Eye color, Genetics, Genotype, Gregor Mendel, Locus (genetics), Meiosis, Mendelian inheritance, Multicellular organism, Mutant, Pea, Phenotype, Phenotypic trait, Ploidy, Polygene, Polymorphism (biology), Quantitative trait locus, Wild type, William Bateson, Zygosity.

Blood type

A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence and absence of antibodies and also based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs).

Chromosome

A chromosome (from Ancient Greek: χρωμόσωμα, chromosoma, chroma means colour, soma means body) is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism.

Dominance (genetics)

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

Epigenetics

Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene function that do not involve changes in the DNA sequence.

Evolution

Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations.

Eye color

Eye color is a polygenic phenotypic character determined by two distinct factors: the pigmentation of the eye's iris and the frequency-dependence of the scattering of light by the turbid medium in the stroma of the iris.

Genetics

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

Genotype

The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines one of its characteristics (phenotype).

Gregor Mendel

Gregor Johann Mendel (Řehoř Jan Mendel; 20 July 1822 – 6 January 1884) was a scientist, Augustinian friar and abbot of St. Thomas' Abbey in Brno, Margraviate of Moravia.

Locus (genetics)

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker (genetic marker).

Meiosis

Meiosis (from Greek μείωσις, meiosis, which means lessening) is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells, each genetically distinct from the parent cell that gave rise to them.

Mendelian inheritance

Mendelian inheritance is a type of biological inheritance that follows the laws originally proposed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 and 1866 and re-discovered in 1900.

Multicellular organism

Multicellular organisms are organisms that consist of more than one cell, in contrast to unicellular organisms.

Mutant

In biology and especially genetics, a mutant is an organism or a new genetic character arising or resulting from an instance of mutation, which is an alteration of the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome of an organism.

Pea

The pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum.

Phenotype

A phenotype is the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest).

Allele and Phenotype · Gene and Phenotype · See more »

Phenotypic trait

A phenotypic trait, or simply trait, is a distinct variant of a phenotypic characteristic of an organism; it may be either inherited or determined environmentally, but typically occurs as a combination of the two.

Ploidy

Ploidy is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for autosomal and pseudoautosomal genes.

Polygene

A "polygene” or "multiple gene inheritance" is a member of a group of non-epistatic genes that interact additively to influence a phenotypic trait.

Polymorphism (biology)

Polymorphism in biology and zoology is the occurrence of two or more clearly different morphs or forms, also referred to as alternative phenotypes, in the population of a species.

Quantitative trait locus

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is a section of DNA (the locus) which correlates with variation in a phenotype (the quantitative trait).

Wild type

Wild type (WT) refers to the phenotype of the typical form of a species as it occurs in nature.

William Bateson

William Bateson (8 August 1861 – 8 February 1926) was an English biologist who was the first person to use the term genetics to describe the study of heredity, and the chief populariser of the ideas of Gregor Mendel following their rediscovery in 1900 by Hugo de Vries and Carl Correns.

Zygosity

Zygosity is the degree of similarity of the alleles for a trait in an organism.

Allele and Gene Comparison

Allele has 67 relations, while Gene has 300. As they have in common 24, the Jaccard index is 6.54% = 24 / (67 + 300).
