Answer:
The options to this question are:
A) allele
B) codon
C) nucleotide
D) chromosome
The answer is A) allele
Explanation:
RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in living organisms used for transferring and storing genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living organisms that contains segment coding for useful products/proteins and transmits genetic information from one generation to another. These segments are called GENES.
However, genes contain an alternate form responsible for genetic variation in the traits coded for by them. These alternate or variant form of a gene is called ALLELE. In a diploid organism like human, each trait is encoded by genes which contain contrasting pair of alleles that allows variation for that particular trait i.e. two alleles for each gene. For example, height trait in humans are encoded by gene, which possess two alleles; one coding for short variety (t) and the other for tall variety (T).
That fact can be explained by the similarity in their genes.
Dogs and coyotes are from the same class, family and genus (Mammalia, Canidae, Canis).
This is almost enough for their offspring to be viable. But if the DNA is similar (which it is) offspring the chances of viable and fertile offspring is high almost at 100%.

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
During a dehydration reaction, two monomer molecules are covalently bonded to each other, with the loss of a water molecule. In this reaction, each monomer contributes part of the water molecule that is released during the reaction. This reaction is repeated as monomers are added to the chain one by one, making a polymer.
Answer:
The answer is A
Explanation:
You can tell that rocks are older or younger depending on if other layers overlap. B is the oldest because all the others cover it, C is the second youngest because D and A overlap it. From what I could tell, when I took the test, it was either A or D, neither overlap each other so I was not sure so I guessed A and got it right. Though it could be looked at that A is smaller than D since its still growing and building.
