A chromosome.
A hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.
For apex it's "A piece of a chromosome."

Each copy of a gene is called an allele?
yes, different forms of a gene is called an allele. It was used in the early days of genetics to describe variant forms of a gene detected as different phenotypes
Describe the transcription process in terms of the three regions of the gene?
Transcription takes place in three separate regions of the gene: the nucleus, DNA structure and the mRNA (or messenger ribonucleic acid).
Describe the biochemical processes involved in transforming the information stored in a gene into expression of a physical trait?
