what is the term that biologists use to describe a single gene?

Brief Explanations
In biology, an allele is a variant form of a single gene. DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information and contains many genes, not a term for a single gene. So the correct term for a single gene (in the context of variants or the form) is allele.
