Answer:

A. alleles.

Explanation:

A gene is a physical segment of DNA which contains the code for a particular protein determines the trait of an organism.

The genes are present on the homologous chromosomes in the form of two variants or the alternative forms called "Alleles". The position where these alleles are present on the chromosome is known as a locus.

The alleles show their effect only when the two form of alleles (one from each parent) come opposite to each other during fertilization.

Out of these two alleles, the allele which shows its effect is called the dominant allele and the allele which is suppressed in the generation is known as a recessive allele.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Why do you think DNA is duplicated before
Anna71 [15]

The two cells that result from a single cell need to have the same amount of genetic material as the initial cell, therefore the DNA needs to be duplicated before the cell divides.

The sister chromatids are attached together so that during anaphase the daugther cells will receive the same chromosomes

What is primary succession
vovangra [49]
Primary succession is one of two types of biological and ecological succession of plant life, occurring in an environment in which new substrate devoid of vegetation and other organisms usually lacking soil, such as a lava flow or area left from retreated glacier, is deposited. In other words, it is the gradual growth of an ecosystem over a longer period.

Two different groups of scientists studying a rare trait in ground squirrels report very different heritabilities. What factors
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

It is a trait highly influenced by environmental factors (i.e., it has low heritability)

Explanation:

In population genetics, heritability is a statistical measure to estimate the proportion of the phenotype variation of a given trait which can be explained by hereditable genetic factors. The heritability of a trait is influenced by environmental factors, genetic factors (e.g., allele frequencies, number of genes involved in trait variation, recombination rate, etc), and the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. A low heritability value suggests that most of the variation is not genetic (i.e., due to environmental factors), while a high heritability value suggests that almost all of the variability in a trait is due to genetic factors.
