An allelle is the alternative form of genes that contribute to human genetic variation.  

Explanation:

Any change in the DNA sequencing which leads to the difference between individuals is called genetic variation.

A trait is the characteristic feature which is passed on from one generation to another.

Different forms of traits expressed by different individuals are characterized by genes present in the DNA. The variant or alternative form of genes which leads to such genetic variation is called an allele. This produces the characteristic differences among humans.

Alleles are found in pairs and can either be recessive or dominant depending upon the genotypes (heterozygous or homozygous).

Characteristics like color of the eye or hair, the height of an individual, length or shape of the nose, and various other specific characteristics are expressed by these alleles .

What happens to any matter that is not used by consumers in a food chain?
Ray Of Light [21]
Kinda like a pyramid. The bottom is wide, many sources of energy (plant life) that take nutrients combine them with water use the bonding of the suns rays and convert that to matter. This matter is then consumed by animals (grazers and browsers), who in turn are fed upon by predators. With man as the top predator.

Take a few seeds from wire-grass. Wire-grass grows in many natural communities, it is eaten by rodents and birds, like Quail. Quail are eaten by snakes, who are eaten by hawks, bobcats, and raccoons.

every time the meal is transferred from one critter to the next, energy is expended in the chase (heat) and capture, and energy is always being used for the animals to survive day by day.
