Orchids are epiphytic plants which means they grow on other plants and trees. To grow on other plants, they exhibit small tentacles like structures called aerial roots.

Aerial roots grow above the soil towards the sky. In orchid plants, these aerial roosts help them to grow and attach to other plants. It is a normal behavior seen in orchids.

Moreover, their ability to grow on other plats does not harm the host plants as orchids get their food from the surrounding environment which contains necessary nutrients.

Reason-

This is because each loci would produce only a 25% chance for a recessive trait, which would results to a general probability of 25% also.

c) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aaBBccDDEE

d) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aabbccddEE
