Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The tallness is a phenotypic characteristic of the plant. It will either beneficial for the plant or it may be disadvantageous.

Pros- The tall plant will receive maximum sunlight due to tallness. This will help in increasing the photosynthesis rate of the plant.

Cons- Exposure to direct sunlight can harm the plant as this will evaporate the maximum available water in the plant by the process of transpiration. The plant may suffer from wilting or may die due to dehydration.
