Answer: The correct answer is-

Phenotype.

Phenotype can be described as the morphological form or characteristic of an organism ( such as tall height of plant, skin color, eye color, hair color), which is depicted by the genetic makeup of an organism and is passed to next generation through genes.

The genes ( that is unit of heredity) for particular phenotype are inherited by offspring from their parents in the form of DNA sequences.

In other words, the physical traits ( that is phenotype) are inherited from one generation to the next generation in the form of genes.

Thus, phenotype describes the heritable, physical characteristics of a living organism.

What results if water is heated and and highly pressured underground
Nadusha1986 [10]

The answer is; geysers

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

b. Even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

Explanation:

There is redundancy in the genetic code. That means that different codons can code for the same amino acids, so some mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of the protein.

Here, the amino acid is unchanged with the mutation.

If the amino acid sequence of the protein is the same, then the protein is not changed, so there will be no change in the phenotype
