Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the terminology used in genetics related to genes and their variations.
Recall that a gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait.
Recognize that alternative forms of the same gene, which can produce different traits, are called alleles.
Differentiate alleles from other terms: Phenotypes refer to observable traits, loci are specific positions on a chromosome, and chromatids are duplicated chromosome strands.
Conclude that the correct term for alternative forms of the same gene is 'Alleles'.
