Those are called alleles (or gene variants).
An allele is a specific version of a gene (or a DNA sequence at a locus) that can produce different traits — e.g., alleles for flower color might produce red, white, or pink. A diploid organism has two alleles per gene (homozygous if the two are the same, heterozygous if different). Multiple different alleles can exist in a population (also called polymorphism).
