I don't really know the answer to that question. Maybe you should ask someone smarter... Like a doctor. Because the internet thinks it knows everything but i have been looking for thirty minutes trying to find an answer to this... "When a pair of chromosomes contains different alleles for a trait, that trait is called a(n) _____?" and i just cannot find the answer... but! if anyone knows the answer to this tell me and i will go back to trusting the internet!

Thank you,
