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 forms of the same gene are called 'alleles'.
Note that 'loci' refers to the specific physical location of a gene on a chromosome, not the versions of the gene.
Understand that 'genotype' refers to the combination of alleles an organism has for a particular gene, not the alleles themselves.
Know that 'chromatids' are duplicated strands of a chromosome, unrelated to the concept of gene versions.
