Solution

The question seems to be asking for the term that describes "one of two or more detectable variants in a genetic character." The correct answer would be "allele."

Here's why:

  1. An allele is a variant form of a given gene, meaning it is one of two or more versions of a gene that are found at the same place on a chromosome. Alleles can vary slightly in their sequence of DNA bases which can lead to different observable physical traits.

  2. A dominant allele is a variant of a gene that will produce a certain phenotype, even if just one copy is present. This isn't the best answer because the question is asking for a term that describes any detectable variant, not just the dominant ones.

  3. A trait
