phenotypes.

Answer 1

alleles

explanation

An alternative form of a gene that occurs at the same locus on homologous chromosomes. Example: A, B and O genes are alleles. An allele is a viable DNA coding that occupies a given locus on a chromosome. Usually alleles are sequences that code for a gene, but sometimes the term is used to refer to a non-gene sequence.

Answer 2

Alleles

Step-by-step explanation:

Genotypes - An organism’s genetic information, or combination of alleles

Alleles - Variations of a gene that can result in different traits, can be described as recessive or dominant.

Traits - A specific characteristic of an individual

Ex: If your dad has freckles you might have freckles to because you inherited the trait.

Phenotypes - A set of an organism’s physical traits
