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 are responsible for the diversity in traits.
Recall the terminology used in genetics: the different versions of a gene are called 'alleles'.
Differentiate 'alleles' from other terms: 'loci' refers to the specific location of a gene on a chromosome, 'phenotypes' are the observable traits, and 'chromatids' are duplicated chromosome strands.
Conclude that the correct term for different versions of a gene is 'alleles'.
