Question

(a) Carrots have different physical characteristics such as colour. 3 Which genetic term describes the physical characteristics of a carrot? A genotype B monohybrid C phenotype D heterozygous

Answer 1

C. Phenotype

Answer 2

In biology, the term 'genotype' refers to the genetic code inside an organism's cells that gives rise to its traits, but it does not directly refer to the physical appearance of an organism. 'Monohybrid' is a term used to describe a type of cross or mating between organisms that involves only one pair of contrasting genes. 'Heterozygous' is a genetic condition where an individual has two different alleles for a specific trait. The term that describes the physical characteristics or observable traits of an organism is 'phenotype'. So, when talking about the visible color of a carrot, we are referring to its phenotype.
