Answer:

A, pleiotropy.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy - genes that have multiple phenotypic effects. Remember that phenotype means a physical characteristic caused by a gene, such as eye color or fur patterns.

Incomplete dominance - when neither allele is dominant and they mix together in the phenotype. A popular example is a red flower crossing with a white flower and resulting in a pink flower.

Epistasis - when two genes contribute to the phenotype, but one gene completely masks another gene. An example would be labrador fur colors.

Multiple alleles - 3 or more alternative forms of a gene, but only 2 alleles can occupy an organism. An example is blood type.

Hope this helps!

<span>The answer is Mimicry. This is when one organism has evolved to look similar to another organism, because the similarity gives the mimic a selective advantage, usually because other organisms in its habitat, such as a predator, would then respond to the mimic in the same way as it would to the organism being copied. Mimicry comes in several varieties; including Batesian mimicry, which is when a palatable organism mimics a species that is unpalatable to predators. Consequently, they are avoided by predators, increasing their fitness. An example of Batesian mimicry is depicted by Viceroy and Monarch Butterflies. </span>
