Do you think the shape of orchids is pure Mendelian inheritance, or is it more complex?

The plato answer is:

It is not purely Mendelian, because it doesn’t appear to be one gene that affects the shape of the orchids. There seem to be many genes involved, with variations in the outcome.

I hope this helps :))))

The genetic base of the shape of orchid is very complex.

Mendelian traits are described as simple traits determined by one gene. The different alleles of the gene contribute to the difference in the trait. This is true for some traits in plants, animals including humans and other organisms, but not for the shape of orchids.

The shape of orchid flowers is determined by the ABCDE group of genes that are responsible for the body plan in plants. These genes are the equivalent of HOX genes of animals.

The protein products of different genes of the ABCDE group interact with each other in complex ways creating different shapes of orchids.

Which best exemplifies the concept of neuroplasticity?
KonstantinChe [14]
The correct answer is "the formation of new brain cell connections as the result of reading a book".

Usually, neuroplasticity is apparent in young children when the central nervous system has an abundance of neurons. This is always in the context of forming new brain cell connections or synapses that will lead the person to access the information quicker. This also exemplifies the principle of use and disuse when it comes to knowledge. 

The other choices concerns the skeletal system, cardiovascular system, and the endocrine/reproductive system; all of which do not have a relation with neuroplasticity.
