These different mutations are called alleles. So the BEL complex is just made up of different alleles of a single gene.

Yes, it can get complex. Read some of the genetics tutorials and find some online youtube lectures on mendelian genetics to get a good understanding. Especially if you ever want to breed, a fundamental basic understanding of genetics is extremely helpful, and I would say, necessary if you want to be a competent breeder.
I am very sorry but i have to say it as i see it: This is not true and it implies that you do not really understand evolution by natural selection. And also you do not really understand evolution driven by human / artificial selection. The different morphs in the BEL complex are on the same chromosome and they are close to each other or even all at the same place. But they do different things. Its not the same gene. It is just all located at roughly the same place on one chromosome.
