Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that carry the instructions or information needed for an organism's traits and functions. They act as the blueprints for the development, growth, and functioning of living organisms. Each gene typically codes for a specific protein or set of proteins, which play various roles in the body. Genes are passed from one generation to the next during reproduction and are responsible for the inheritance of traits from parents to offspring.

Alleles, on the other hand, are different versions or variants of a particular gene. They can result in variations of a specific trait. For example, the gene responsible for eye color can have different alleles, leading to various eye colors like brown, blue, or green. Alleles can be dominant or recessive, and their combination determines the expression of traits in an individual's genetic makeup. The study of genes and alleles is central to genetics, helping us understand how traits are inherited and how genetic diversity arises within populations.
