what alternate form of genes do nucleic acids have that allows them to offer variability?\n○ allele\n○ codon\n○ nucleotide\n○ chromosome

Answer

Brief Explanations:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

  • Allele: Alternate forms of a gene (nucleic acids like DNA/RNA carry genes) that account for variation.
  • Codon: A sequence of 3 nucleotides coding for an amino acid, not an alternate gene form.
  • Nucleotide: The building block of nucleic acids, not an alternate gene form.
  • Chromosome: A structure carrying genes, not an alternate gene form.

So the correct option is the one with "allele".

Answer:

A. allele
