1
Understand that genes are segments of DNA that code for proteins, which in turn determine traits.
Recognize that a trait can be influenced by different versions of a gene, which are called alleles.
Different alleles can lead to variations in the expression of a trait, such as eye color or blood type.
Distinguish between alleles and other genetic terms: chromosomes are structures that contain many genes, phenotypes are the observable characteristics, and genotypes are the genetic makeup of an organism.
Conclude that the different versions of a gene for the same trait are called alleles.
