Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a gene is a segment of DNA located at a specific position, called a locus, on a chromosome.
Recognize that different versions or variants of the same gene that exist at the same locus are called alleles.
Note that alleles can result in different traits or characteristics, depending on their combination in an organism.
Differentiate alleles from other terms: gametes are reproductive cells, chromatids are duplicated chromosome arms, and phenotypes are observable traits.
Conclude that the term describing different forms of the same gene at the same locus is 'alleles'.
