Answer: alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a given gene. Alleles are mutated forms of a given gene which controls a particular trait. For instance, the gene that codes for hemoglobin is denoted with the letter A but the gene has another variant denoted by S. In abnormal hemoglobin S (sickle hemoglobin), glutamate is replaced by valine at position 6 in the amino acid sequence of the two beta chains of hemoglobin. This change in the amino acid sequence causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape resulting in sickle cell disease. Therefore hemoglobin A and S are alleles of a given gene.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Geothermal energy refers to the heat energy that is stored in the interior of the earth, and is primarily used to generate electricity. The geothermal energy increases with the increasing depth.

This energy is not that resourceful in a broad picture. It is because in order to extract this energy, the drilling and excavations must be made. And it is a very expensive process as it is very difficult to carry out the entire process.

Due to this drawback, it is much less resourceful.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
