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 genes can have different forms or variations, which are called alleles.
Recall that alleles occupy the same locus on homologous chromosomes but may differ in their DNA sequence.
Different alleles can result in variations in the trait that the gene controls, contributing to genetic diversity.
Therefore, the term that describes different versions of a gene found at the same locus is 'alleles'.
