The different forms that genes can take are called alleles.
The correct answer is alleles.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the concepts related to genes and their variations. Genes are segments of DNA that contain instructions for building and maintaining an organism. They determine various traits or characteristics in an individual.
Genes can have different forms, known as alleles. Alleles are alternative versions of a gene that arise due to small differences in DNA sequence. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent.
Traits, on the other hand, are the observable characteristics of an organism, such as eye color, hair type, or blood type. These traits are influenced by the combination of alleles that an individual possesses. Therefore, alleles are the specific forms of genes that contribute to different traits or phenotypes.
