Different versions of the same gene.
C
all the chromosomes/DNA that code for an individual’s traits.
D
Condensed DNA that is visible during cell division.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"Allele” is the word that we use to describe the alternative form or versions of a gene. People inherit one allele for each autosomal gene from each parent, and we tend to lump the alleles into categories. Typically, we call them either normal or wild-type alleles, or abnormal, or mutant alleles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Alleles are different versions of the same gene and thus have a different nucleotide sequence. Each gene codes for a trait. For example, there is a gene for eye color, dimples, skin color, and all the rest of our traits.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alleles are a pair of genes that occupy a specific location on a particular chromosome and control the same trait. Alleles may appear in pairs or in multiple forms of alleles, which affect a specific trait of the offspring. Locus is the location where a gene is found on a chromosome.
