This character trait is known as homoplasy. the definition of homoplasy that two or more species share a character, but they did not descend from a common ancestor.
This trait is known as convergent evolution, or convergence.
It is kind of a strange question but by the process of elimination, I would go with petrification.
Its called petrified wood.

Correct option(s):
(b) This muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.
(c) This muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.
A dominant allele is one that is capable of expressing itself even in the heterozygous condition and overshadows the effect of the recessive allele. It is usually denoted by a capital letter. Recessive allele on the contrary cannot express in presence of a dominant allele and is denoted by a small letter.
In the given case the fruit with a sour taste (phenotype) can have two possible genotypes (FF and Ff). The genotype of sweet taste is ff which is a homozygous condition.
Note: Your question is incomplete, probably your complete question is “In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele F is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit. a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sweet fruit. this plant has two alleles for sweet fruit. Choose the correct option:
(a) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit.
(b) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.
(c) this muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.”

Answer:
As a result of the Hershey and Chase experiments, scientists believe
that the “transforming principle” is DNA.
Explanation:
Hershey and Chase determined that DNA, not protein, was the inherent material. They resolute that a defensive protein coat was molded everywhere the bacteriophage, but that the interior DNA is what discussed its capability to produce offspring inside a bacterium. Transformation occurs when one bacterium picks up free-floating DNA and incorporates it into its own genome. When scientists first observed this behavior, it seemed that genes were transforming one type of bacteria into another, so they concluded there must be a 'transforming principle' at work.
I might be wrong, but I think the answer to this question is D.
