A gene is a stretch of DNA or RNA that determines a certain trait. Genes mutate and can take two or more alternative forms; an allele is one of these forms of a gene.For example, the gene for eye color has several variations (alleles) such as an allele for blue eye color or an allele for brown eyes.An allele is found at a fixed spot on a chromosome. Chromosomes occur in pairs so organisms have two alleles for each gene â one allele in each chromosome in the pair.n allele is found at a fixed spot on a chromosome. Chromosomes occur in pairs so organisms have two alleles for each gene â one allele in each chromosome in the pair.
