Question

which term describes the form of a gene that produces a specific trait, such as eye color?

○ gamete

○ chromatid

○ chromosome

○ allele

Explanation:

• Gamete: Reproductive cell (sperm/egg), not a gene form.
• Chromatid: Half of a replicated chromosome, not a gene form for a trait.
• Chromosome: Structure with genes, not the specific form of a gene for a trait.
• Allele: Defined as the form of a gene that determines a specific trait (e.g., eye color alleles for blue/brown eyes).

Answer:

D. allele
