Answer:

Allele is the form in which sequenced information within a single gene can be expressed. One allele is paired with another within a gene, which is part of a chromosome and which determines the expression of specific traits.

Explanation:

The genetic information is contained in the DNA, and each molecule of this nucleic acid forms a chromosome containing genes, fragments of the DNA of the chromosome with a sequence of nucleotides for the synthesis of specific proteins.

Genes determine morphological or functional features of a living being. Each gene contains two alleles for each trait it determines, the alleles being different sequences of nucleotides that constitute different ways in which a trait can be expressed.

<h3>How are the alleles related to genes, chromosomes and traits? </h3>

Each gene contains two alleles, either the same or different, with the sequence of nitrogenous bases to determine the possible ways in which a trait is expressed. The different sequences of the alleles can produce specific modifications of the function of that gene, conditioning the different forms of expression of a trait.

Genes, which contain alleles, are found within a chromosome, at a specific location called a locus.

Given that our model finch population is capable of rapid evolution in response to a changing environment, explain why you think
SIZIF [17.4K]

Darwin's finches are a traditional illustration of an adaptive radiation. Their ancestor came on the Galapagos Island about two million years ago. With time Darwin's finches have developed into fifteen different species separated on the basis of beak shape, body size, and feeding and song behavior.  

The population of finches possesses the tendency of evolving rapidly in response to a changing environment. However, they can also get extinct in condition if the weather fluctuates too briskly between the dry and wet seasons. This would most likely take place due to the immigration of genes and mutations within the genes that are conducted on to the next generations.
