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 versions or variations, which are called alleles.
Recall that the term 'genotype' refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, which includes all its alleles.
Know that 'chromosome' is the structure that carries many genes, and 'phenotype' is the observable trait resulting from the genotype and environment.
