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 versions or variations, which are responsible for different traits or characteristics.
Learn that these different versions of the same gene found at the same locus are called 'alleles'.
Differentiate alleles from other genetic terms: centromeres are chromosome regions, gametes are reproductive cells, and chromatids are duplicated chromosome strands.
Conclude that the correct term for different forms of a gene at the same locus is 'alleles'.
