Answer: The correct answer is-
D.the genes of its chromosomes.
Inherited traits are the characteristics of an organism that are transferred from parents to their next generation through genetic material (DNA).
For Example- Eye color, hair color, skin tone.
Gene corresponds to the unit of heredity that can be described as the segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein. They are present on the chromosome (thredlike structures composed of DNA).
The protein that is formed by gene, depicts a specific trait of the organism.
Thus, inherited trait of an organism are determined by the genes, located on the chromosome.
I don't know if your talking about this but this is what i got. Genetically modified plants can also be developed using gene knockdown or gene knockout to alter the genetic makeup of a plant without incorporating genes from other plants.
Plants also have structures that help them survive. Plants have different parts, like roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit. These structures help them survive. Other plants have flowers that are the perfect shape for insects to visit and help with pollination. Some plants have really long roots that help the plant gather water from deep below the surface of the Earth. Plants that live in really dry areas, like a desert, have special leaves.
