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? a. species a will have a wider range of phenotypes. b. species b will have a wider range of leaf colors. c. species b will have more offspring. d. species a will have a wider range of genotypes

The correct answer is (b)Species B will have a wider range of leaf colors.

The Species A will show only three different phenotype but the species B will show many more combinations as compared to species A. The more the number of alleles more will be the possibilities of combinations. The greater number of combination indicates wider range of leaf colors. For example, the height in human being is a polygenic trait which means more than two allele is responsible for this feature. The height of individuals can be any number. So, the species having more than two alleles will have a wider range of characters.

dna is made up of six smaller molecules -- a five carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate molecule and four different nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine).

relative humidity, temperature and dew point -- are bound together in the mathematical relationship below. relative humidity changes when temperatures change. because warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air, relative humidity falls when the temperature rises if no moisture is added to the air. so i would say a
