Quince is a plant. The seed is used as medicine. People take quince as a powder, extract, or tea for digestive disorders including stomach and intestinal pain (gastrointestinal inflammation), as well as diarrhea. Quince is also used for cough. Some people apply quince directly as a compress or poultice for injuries, swollen and painful joints, nipple soreness, and gashed or deeply cut fingers. A lotion is used to soothe the eyes. In foods, quince fruit is used to make jam, jelly, marmalade, and pudding. It is also used to make juice and wine.
Traits are the physical manifestation of your genes. Brown hair or blue eyes are examples of traits. Genes, are pieces of DNA which code for proteins, which subsequently result in traits. So, if you have a really long piece of DNA, a gene is a part of that DNA.
1 Alleles are the different sequences on the DNA-they determine a single characteristic in an individual. 2  Another important difference between the two is that alleles occur in pairs. 3  They are also differentiated into recessive and dominant categories. 4  Genes do not have any such differentiation. 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.
