Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait.
Recognize that genes can have different forms or variations, which lead to different expressions of that trait.
Learn that each variation of a gene is called an allele.
Different alleles can result in different phenotypes, which are the observable traits.
Note that codons are sequences of three nucleotides that code for amino acids, and chromosomes are structures that contain many genes, so neither term describes a version of a gene.
