To solve this problem, we need to understand the concept of alleles. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Different phenotype. - Phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism, which can be influenced by alleles, but alleles themselves are not phenotypes. - Therefore, this option is incorrect.Option 2: True breeding homozygotes. - True breeding refers to organisms that produce offspring of the same phenotype when self-fertilized. Homozygotes have identical alleles for a trait, but alleles themselves are not defined as true breeding homozygotes. - Therefore, this option is incorrect.Option 3: Different molecular forms of a gene. - Alleles are indeed different versions or forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome. - This is the correct definition of alleles.Option 4: Heterozygotes. - Heterozygotes have two different alleles for a particular gene, but alleles themselves are not heterozygotes. - Therefore, this option is incorrect.Based on the analysis, the correct option is Option 3: Different molecular forms of a gene.
