Answer:

A segment of DNA that carries the instructions for one polypeptide chain.

Explanation:

The DNA is the genetic material of almost all the living organisms but few exceptions are present in case of virus where RNA is present as genetic material.

The phenotype and genotype of the organisms is determined by the gene. Gene is the functional segment of the DNA that codes for the specific polypeptide chain and determines the different morphological characters of the organisms.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

You have a plant with yellow seeds, which express a dominant phenotype. How would you determine the plant's genotype?. . . Condu
DENIUS [597]
If it displays the dominant genotype, we can assume that this plant would have a heterozygous (hybrid) genotype, i.e.

With a purebred recessive plant, the geneotypes would be 50% Bb and 50% bb.

With a purebred dominant plant, the genetpyes would be 50% BB and 50% Bb.

With a <span>heterozygous (hybrid) plant, the genotypes would be 25% BB, 50% Bb and 25% bb.</span>
