Answer:
The correct answer for the fill in the blank is - A sequence of bases on the DNA that codes for a trait.
Gene is described as a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a particular protein, which in turn corresponds to a trait/ characteristic of the living organism.
Gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA) through a process called transcription. mRNA is then converted into protein through a process called translation.
The protein thus formed corresponds to a particular trait ( like eye color, hair color).

Answer:
1. Location: Histosols are the soils which are found in the grasslands, swamps and marshes, whereas the aridosols are soils that are found in desert regions.
2. Color: Histosols are soils which are rich in organic matter therefore, are dark colored, whereas the aridosols are soils that lack organic matter, hence are light in color.
3. Water retention capacity: Histosols exhibit higher water retention capacity as compared to the aridosols.
4. Rate of decomposition: Rate of decomposition is higher in the histosols as compared to aridosols.
