A gene is a section of DNA which controls part of a cell's chemistry - particularly protein production. in the same places. But there are different versions of the same gene. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles (pronounced 'al-eels'). For example, the gene for eye colour has an allele for blue eye colour and an allele for brown. For any gene, a person may have the same two alleles or two different ones. Recessive or dominant alleles
Gene vs Allele. A gene is a part of the DNA. Alleles on the other hand refer to different versions of the same gene. There are other more subtle differences between the two and this is what we are going to explore on this page: An interesting difference between alleles and genes is that alleles produce opposite phenotypes that are contrasting by nature. 2  When the two partners of a gene are homogeneous in nature, they are called homozygous.
