Fudgin [204]3 years ago

A person possessing one dominant allele and one recessive allele for a gene is said to be heterozygous for that trait because the alleles are different. ... A genetic trait may be of homozygous dominant or recessive or heterozygous.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option A which is, "it dominates the phenotype".

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

There are two types of alleles in the gene pair of one trait.

One is known as dominant allele while other is recessive allele.

One allele is dominant over the recessive and when both alleles come together, the dominant allele will describe the phenotype.

But not always, as in case if both alleles are recessive then recessive allele will describe the phenotype.

Hence the most relating statement is option A.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Habitats of the plants:

X : winter or cold mountainous habitat

Y : desert habitat

Z:  Aquatic habitat

Explanation:

The X plant leave morphology suggests that thick wax coating of leaf helps it to retain water in it. Such plants are called conifers. They are not shed every year so suitable for sunlight to be captured for photosynthesis. In cold regions heavy wind happens cone like leaf is able to resist the winds and prevent it from falling. The cone like structure of leaves help them let the snowfall.

The plant Y leaves and root morphology suggests that it is well suited for dry lands or desert as where less water is there. They store water for longer time when it rains because of the extensive root system. The spine leaves help in reduced transpiration as water scarcity is there.

The plant Z leaves morphology suggests that thin and ribbon structure leaves can help them resist the pressures of flowing water as there are air space in the leaves which provide buoyancy to the leaves.
