The answer would be d) phenotype. The phenotype is the physical characteristic while the genotype is the combination of alleles from the parent--basically the part that you can't really see. The color of a flower is prominent, so that would be its phenotype. An organism's phenotype can also include certain behavioral characteristics as well, not just the way it looks! Hope this helped :)
NASA did not invent the smoke detector.
1. An underdeveloped DNA molecule would result in mutations. On the genetic level, this could mean entire traits are deleted or that an early stop occurs in transcription, which could cut off parts of instructions.
2. Genetic code is the nucleotide sequence of a gene while the gene expression is how these sequences are used to make functioning amino acids and proteins to create DNA.
3. In each cell itself there are roughly 42 million proteins.
