alleles at a locus accounted for by one specific allele.
argon-argon (40Ar/39Ar) method - correct answer ✔✔Working on a similar basis
as the potassium-argon method, this approach uses the ratio of argon-40 to
argon-39 for dating igneous and metamorphic rocks; it offers precision and
temporal range advantages for dating some early hominin sites.
adaptive niche - correct answer ✔✔The entire way of life of an organism: where it
lives, what it eats, how it gets food, how it avoids predators, and so on.

typify an entire species or population, and because it's under genetic influence,
it's subject to evolutionary factors such as natural selection or genetic drift.
