The correct answer is alleles.
Alleles are different versions or forms of a gene. Genes are the segments of DNA that code for specific traits or characteristics. These genes can exist in multiple forms, known as alleles. Each allele represents a specific version of the gene, which can result in different traits or phenotypes.
To determine the different forms of a gene, scientists often use genetic analysis techniques such as DNA sequencing or PCR (polymerase chain reaction). By examining the DNA sequence, researchers can identify and compare different alleles to understand how they contribute to variations in traits or phenotypes.
So, in summary, alleles are the different forms of genes that determine variations in traits or phenotypes.
