Answer;

a segment of chromosomal DNA

Explanation;

A gene is a  hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA that occupies a specific location on a chromosome and determines a particular characteristic in an organism. Genes undergo mutation when their DNA sequence changes.

It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins.  However, many genes do not code for proteins.

Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.

How is respiration regulated ?​
Allisa [31]

\huge\mathbb\colorbox{black}{\color{yellow}{AnSwEr}}

In humans, the medulla region of the brain is mainly responsible for the regulation process of respiration. It is also called the respiratory rhythm centre. The chemosensitive area located near the respiratory centre sends signals across nerve impulses to alter the rate of expiration to eliminate compounds.

An ecologist observes that the diet of a bird species consists primarily of large grass seeds (as opposed to smaller grass seeds
omeli [17]

Lets understand the given passage.

An ecologist <u>observes that the diet of a bird species consists primarily of large grass seeds</u> (as opposed to smaller grass seeds or the seeds of other herbaceous plants found in the area).

<u>He hypothesizes that the birds are choosing the larger seeds because they have a higher concentrations of nitrogen than do other types of seeds at the site</u><u>.</u>

<u>To test the hypothesis, the ecologist compares the large grass seeds with the other types of seeds, and the results clearly show that the large grass seeds do indeed have a much higher concentration of nitrogen.</u>

No, he cannot conclude that the birds select the larger grass seeds because of their higher concentrations of nitrogen. The hypothesis testing done by the ecologist is incomplete as he failed to set up a control in the experiment. The control would have been the birds feeding on large seeds that lack or are low on nitrogen content. This will establish a relation between the bird's diet and the size of the seeds and the nitrogen content of the seeds. It could be true that birds do not care about the nitrogen content but simply prefer larger seed sizes.

Another problem associated with his field experiment is the failure in noting the beak sizes of the birds. The beak size and shape enable a bird to break and eat seeds. Larger beaks fail at breaking open smaller seeds. This observation would add bird beak size as another variable of the experiment.
