The term for various forms that a single gene can take at a given locus is "alleles." Kinetochores are structures on chromosomes that help attach them to spindle fibers during cell division. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes. Loci are specific locations on a chromosome. Chromatids are the two identical copies of a replicated chromosome that are joined at the centromere.
