Trait and characters are same wheres alleles differ from traits.
Trait is a phenotypic character we are look in a person(e.g. height, skin colour, eye colour, etc.)
Alleles are different alternative forms of a gene. (e.g. gene for height has two alleles- tall and dwarf)
Allele |
Character/Trait |
Alleles are the alternative forms of genes. |
Character or trait is the physical expression of the gene. |
Allele is in a specific location in the chromosome. |
Character or trait is a physical expression and so, does not have any location on the chromosome. |
Allele may be in homozygous state or heterozygous state. |
Character/trait does not have homozygous or heterozygous state. |
Allele is a small segment of DNA. |
Character/trait is a product of biochemical reactions. |
Alleles carry information which is responsible for a trait of an individual. |
Character/trait is a characteristic of an individual. |
