C
photosynthesis
D
nitrification
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Flower color is an inherited trait. On a molecular level, which cellular function is responsible for flower color? RNA is essential for the building of proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anthocyanins and carotenoids are the main sources of flower coloration, but there are other factors that can affect how colors present themselves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inheritance Of Flower Colour On A Visual Basis Colour, whether it be purple, carmine red or red, is dominant over white. Red is dominant only over white. Carmine is dominant over red. Purple is dominant over carmine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Flower colour is largely due to the presence of pigments present in chromoplasts or cell vacuoles of floral tissues.

Detailed explanation-5: -The vast range of flower colours relies on four major pigment classes: chlorophylls, carotenoids, flavonoids, and betalains (Lee, 2007; Narbona et al., 2021).
