Natural selection acts directly on those gene variations for traits or phenotypes.
The phenotype of an organism is the physical characteristic and is determined by the organism's genotype. Natural selection selects the genes that produce a certain phenotype by providing suitable conditions for a certain phenotype.
Answer:
Allele. An allele is a viable DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) coding that occupies a given locus (position) on a chromosome. ... An organism in which the two copies of the gene are identical — that is, have the same allele — is called homozygous for that gene.
Can you elaborate on that please?
