Put all the candies used in Problem 40 into a single mound and then divide them into four equal piles, this time being sure that the frequency of each color is the same in each pile. Label two of these piles 'male' and the other two 'female.' Half of the group will take one male and one female pile, and the other half of the group will take the other two piles. Each half of the group will carry out its own experiments: Explain any observed differences in frequencies in terms of the evolutionary mechanism the results best emulate.

B
Chromatids
C
Alleles
D
Genotypes

Understand the question is asking for the term that describes different forms of the same gene.
Recall that a gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait, and it can exist in different versions.
Identify that 'Loci' refers to the specific physical location of a gene on a chromosome, not the different forms.
Recognize that 'Chromatids' are duplicated halves of a chromosome, not related to gene variants.
Know that 'Alleles' are the different forms or variants of the same gene, which can result in different traits.
