Answer: option B) A gene can take different forms called alleles.
Explanation:
An allele is one of the two or more different forms of the same gene.
For example, a trait such as seed shape is represented expressed a gene, but with allele of "RR" (round seeds) and "rr"(wrinkled seeds) observed physically by the farmers.
Thus, the correct answer is that a gene can take different forms called alleles.
Answer:
<u><em>The correct option is C) genetic variation</em></u>
Explanation:
Genetic variation can be described as the differences present in the genetic material i.e DNA of organisms present in a population. Genetic diversity allows organisms of a species to better adapt to an environment. A population in which the genetic variability is scarce might become wiped out by a disease or an invading predator.
As the birds show different variations hence the term that best described them is genetic variation.
Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-
Energy is released from ATP ( adenosine triphosphate) when high energy phosphoanhydride bond ( present between two phosphate) is broken down or hydrolyzed.
This results in the formation of ADP ( adenosine diphosphate) and Pi ( inorganic phosphate).
Therefore, hydrolysis of ATP releases energy.
The longmenshan fault is in china. This fault was created when two tectonic plates collided with each other, resulting in the rise of mountains next to the sichuan basin. This fault is most likely a reverse fault.
A reverse fault is a fault that exists in areas that are undergoing compression in which the rock on top of the fault plane is moved upward relative to the rock under the fault plane. A reverse fault is completely different from normal faults and it reduces the faulted section of rock.
