Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.[1][2][3]
The discoverer of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.
Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya).
Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off. A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate. While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.
Answer:
The scale is same.
Explanation:
The scale of nuclear fusion reaction on earth is the same as compared to fusion reactions that is happening in the sun because both reactions produces the same product i. e. energy and heat etc and both are occurring naturally. Due to large size of the sun, huge number of nuclear fusion reactions occur ac compared to the earth which is smaller in size so the scale of both nuclear fusion reactions are the same but vary in numbers.
A.
conserve energy
The smaller muscle mass of the sloth, means that it needs less energy to work, allowing it to be able to survive on a less diet.
Most of their muscles are concentrated in their upper body, allowing them to be efficient climbers but very slow on the ground.

The answer is : Appearance
I hope that's help !
Answer:
The correct answer is - reducing competition between the birds for resources.
Explanation:
In this ecosystem, the two species of birds brown creepers and nuthatches share habitat in the same tree for their food resources are insects. Brown creepers feed on resources on the bottom of the tree whereas nuthatches feed on the top of the tree.
By this, they avoid competition between these two birds for the same food resources in the same tree. The competition would be more if both have depended on the insects all over the tree.
