The statement that best describes a difference between genes and alleles is:
Genes provide variation in traits, while alleles express traits.
This distinction highlights that genes are the segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins and contribute to inherited traits, while alleles are the different versions of a gene that can result in variations of a trait.
