Question

Scientists compare two different plant species. In species A, the leaf color is controlled by two alleles. In species B, leaf color is controlled by five alleles. How will these two plants be different?

Answer 1

$\Huge{\sf SOLUTION \colon}$

• Plant A has two alleles for the leaf colour

• On the other hand, Plant B has five alleles for the leaf colour

Explanation :

• The plant which has more alleles would obviously would have more variety or chances for variation in their leaf colour

• Leaf Colour is a phenotypic trait and can be green,pale green,orange or yellowish green depending upon the gene expression

From the above arguments,I conclude :

Plant B would have more variety in its leaf colour
