Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that a gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait.
Recognize that different versions or variations of the same gene are called alleles.
Note that phenotypes refer to the observable traits or characteristics resulting from gene expression, not the gene forms themselves.
Recall that chromatids are duplicated strands of a chromosome, not different gene forms.
Remember that loci (singular: locus) are the specific physical locations of genes on a chromosome, not the variations of the gene.
