What is three or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait are called?

A gene can have multiple forms, which are called Alleles. While a single gene may code for a trait in an organism, when multiple alleles exist for that gene, each different may produce a different character of that trait. For example, a person has two copies of the gene that codes for ABO blood type. There are three different alleles for this gene, A, B and O. This results in six different combinations of the alleles that the person can have (the genotype), which in turn results in four expressions of the gene in the person (called the phenotype), which is the blood type of the person.

What are the different formes of genes called?
Alleles are forms of genes for a trait.
