The correct answer is A. Quantitative traits
Explanation:
In genetics, quantitative traits refer to traits or phenotypes (observable traits) that depend on many factors including multiple genes and actions in the environment. These traits differ from other traits because the traits tend to be more diverse in a population. In the case presented, the shell color in clams is an example of a quantitative trait because this phenotype is the result of three different each and each gene contains two alleles which means the color depends on many factors. Additionally, as most quantitative traits there is a higher variation in the phenotype considering clams can have different hues.
So Mendel got roughly 75% yellow and 25% green in f2. This means that f1 contains all heterozygous genes, as shown below
Y y
Y YY Yy
y Yy yy
Summary: 75% YY or Yy, 25% yy
Which means that green (y) is a recessive phenotype, while yellow (Y) is a dominant phenotype, since plants with heterozygous genotype Yy express the yellow trait.
When Amanda poured some of the liquid in a test tube, she noticed that the edges of the water curved upward, which is an example of adhesion.
When Pol filled another test tube to the top, the liquid formed a low dome, which is evidence of cohesion.
When Amanda added table salt to the first test tube and shook it, she noted that the liquid had dissolved the solute.
All of these observations indicated the presence of covalent bonds.
Pol determined that the pH of the sample is 7, which shows the sample is neutral.
Based on all of the evidence Amanda and Pol gathered, the unknown liquid is water.
