Question

In some plants, flower color, or __________ of the plant, is dependent upon environmental factors such as the acidity of soil. A) allelism B) dominance C) genotype D) phenotype

Answer 1

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 :)
