B. a specific place on a chromosome where a particular gene resides.

A locus (plural loci) in genetics is the position of a gene on a chromosome. Each chromosome carries many genes; humans' estimated 'haploid' protein coding genes are 19,000-20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes. A variant of the similar DNA sequence located at a given locus is called an allele.

Answer:

How do nutrients move through an environment? What drives the movement of nutrients?

My answer 6b: Nutrients are often transported across the environment by migrating from the physical environment into living creatures and then being recycled back into the physical environment. For example, an animal could receive nutrition by eating plants. To stay alive, the animal uses the chemical energy gained from the food. When the animal dies, the nutrients in its body return to the soil and are re-absorbed by plants. The transport of nutrients in the ecosystem is driven by nutrient cycles.
