Question
A pea plant is represented by Rr. this represents thea) genetic composition of an individual b) characteristics which are visible in an organismc) alternate form of genesd) none of above
Solution
The representation "Rr" for a pea plant refers to the genetic composition of an individual. So, the correct answer is a) genetic composition of an individual. This is because "Rr" is a genotype, which is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait. In this case, "R" and "r" are two different versions (or alleles) of the same gene.

Genes are segments of DNA that determine the phenotype of an individual. Pea colors can be yellow or green. When two plants that produce yellow peas were crossed, the offspring produced green peas. This is because the parents were for pea color. Because there are only two options for pea color, the plants’ pea color is a case of

Gregor Mendel was a critical contributor to our understanding of inheritance today. In his experiments he tracked seven visual traits of pea plants and ensured that they produced offspring identical to themselves.
