Different or alternative versions of a gene are called?

is it
mutants
allels
or chromatids

Answers:
It's alleles.
its alleles or chromatids
i thought it was chromasomes, or genotypes. I thought an alelle was a strand of DNA.
If there are different versions this is the genotype.
Mutations occur when the bases of a gene change. so effectively the mutated gene for "brown hair" may produce a gene that prevents hair from growing at all.

It is best to describe an alternative version of a gene as a genotype for example brown hair maybe be bases A-C-A-B and blonde could be bases A-C-A-A

the genotype codes for the phenotype (what the characteristic looks like). To explain the allele, the alleles describe the DNA sequence that codes for the gene.

it would be correct to say that there are different alleles of a gene. and there are different genotypes of a gene.
