Answer:

Allele

Explanation:

Alleles are alternative forms of a given gene and occupy the same locus on homologous chromosomes. When we refer to locus, we are talking about the position of the gene on the chromosome; When we talk about homologous chromosomes, we mean chromosomes that have genes for the same trait.

It is important to note that alleles are always represented by letters. The allele is represented by a lower case letter when it is recessive, that is, when expressed only in pairs (Ex .: aa). The dominant allele is represented by a capital letter and is expressed even in a single dose (Ex .: AA or Aa).

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

This law states that, despite chemical reactions or physical transformations, mass is conserved — that is, it cannot be created or destroyed — within an isolated system. In other words, in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products will always be equal to the mass of the reactants.

Answer: To be able to reach the food they need.

Explanation: Giraffes feed off of high trees. In order to get that food, they were forced to naturally adapt to the height of the trees. Natural selection is a process where organisms that are better adapted to an environment will survive and reproduce. This means that the advantageous alleles of this variant organism are passed on to offspring. Over many generations, the process of natural selection leads to evolution occurring.
