Understand that a gene is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait and is located at a particular position called a locus on a chromosome.
Recognize that different versions or variations of the same gene that exist at the same locus are called alleles.
Note that alleles can result in different expressions of a trait, which are observed as phenotypes, but phenotypes themselves are not the gene variants.
Recall that centromeres are the regions of a chromosome where sister chromatids are held together, unrelated to gene variants.
Remember that chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome formed during DNA replication, also unrelated to different gene forms.
