Here are some definitions that might help!
Allele - alternate versions of a gene (Example: G or g)
Gene - a segment of DNA that can be inherited (Example: gene G)
Genotype - the genetic make up of an individual (Example: GG, Gg, or gg)
Phenotype - the observable characteristics that are the result of an individuals genotype (Example: GG or Gg = green peas, gg = yellow peas)
So for this question, the correct answer would be a) allele.
