The answer is True: An allele refers to alternative versions of a gene that codes for the same trait (for example: eye shape).

Explanation:

  • Alleles are different forms of the same gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
  • They can result in variations in the expression of a trait, such as different eye shapes, colors, or other characteristics.
  • For example, the gene for eye color may have an allele for blue eyes and another allele for brown eyes. Both alleles code for the trait of eye color but result in different expressions of that trait.
