In genetics, what term refers to each different form of a gene?
A
Locus
B
Chromosome
C
Genotype
D
Allele
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a gene can have multiple variations, and each variation is called a specific term in genetics.
Recall that a 'locus' refers to the specific physical location of a gene on a chromosome, not the variation itself.
Recognize that a 'chromosome' is a structure that contains many genes, so it is not the term for a gene's form.
Know that 'genotype' refers to the combination of alleles an organism has for a particular gene, rather than the individual forms themselves.
Identify that the correct term for each different form of a gene is an 'allele'.
