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.

Very small, rocky bodies that orbit the sun are called _______. group of answer choices
Brrunno [24]

Meteoroids are incredibly tiny, stony bodies that revolve around the sun. As with planets, asteroids, and comets, rocks or iron chunks called meteoroids orbit the sun.

As a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, friction warms it up, producing a brilliant trail of hot ionized gases (plasma) known as a meteor. If the item survives both its entry into the atmosphere and its landing on the ground, it is referred to as a meteorite. Asteroid pieces make up more than 99 percent of meteorites. A tiny group is known to have come from the moon, and another group is widely believed to have originated on Mars.  Although it hasn't been proven conclusively, there is also grounds to think that some are pieces of comets rocky debris.
