Answer: Allele

A gene is a basic unit of inheritance. A gene is located on a fixed position in a chromosome. They consists of genetic information in the form of nucleotides.  They provide instructions to the cell machinery or organelles to produce specialized molecules called as proteins. Proteins are produced in order to perform a specialized function in the organism. An allele is a form of gene.
