A trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. We represent these gene pairs by writing a combination of two letters. For example, if one parent contributes a gene for blue eyes (c), and other parent contributes a gene for brown eyes(C), then we write the offspring’s eye color trait as Cc. This combination, of the two genes that determine the trait, is called a genotype. If gene pair contains a dominant allele, the the offspring will show this dominant trait
The correct answer is - C) carotenoids.
The majority of the trees from the mid-latitude forests tend to shade their leaves in the autumn. This process occurs because of the seasonal changes in the climate, where the trees tend to be almost not-active during the winter, so in order to preserve as much energy and nutrients as possible they get read off their leaves.
It is not a sudden process, but it takes some time, where the leaves from the initial green color start to change to yellowish, than towards orange, reddish, or brownish before they fall.
The reason why this coloration appears in the leaves when the tree starts to process of shading them off are carotenoids. The carotenoids found in the leaves, the lutein and the beta-caroten, thorugh the xantophills and the flavonoids give a yellowish color to the leaves, thus we get the beautiful autumn colors and landscapes.
