Explanation:

The question is about alleles, which are related to genetics, a subfield of Biology (Natural Science). The definition of an allele is a variant form of a gene. So for part a, the blank should be filled with "variant form of a gene" (matching the section title "Alleles – Variants of a Gene").

Answer:

a. An allele is a variant form of a gene
You inherit one allele from each parent for every gene
(Note: The last blank in the image's partial text likely relates to a concept like "genotype" or "phenotype" in genetic combinations, but based on the visible allele - related content, the first blank answer is as above.)
