NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Correct answer: Flower color, flower position, seed color, seed shape, and leaf pattern. Explanation: Plants inherit traits from their parents that give them their characteristics and appearance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants inherit traits from their parent plants. Some common inherited characteristics are flower color, flower position, seed color, seed shape, seed pod shape, pod color, leaf pattern, and stem length.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye colour and blood type, to their children through their genes. Some health conditions and diseases can be passed on genetically too. Sometimes, one characteristic has many different forms. For example, blood type can be A, B, AB or O.

Detailed explanation-4: -The law of independent assortment states that inheritance of one gene does not influence inheritance of another gene. Thus, inheritance of seed color does not affect the inheritance of seed shape.

Detailed explanation-5: -Seed color is governed by a single gene with two alleles. The yellow-seed allele is dominant and the green-seed allele is recessive. When true-breeding plants were cross-fertilized, in which one parent had yellow seeds and one had green seeds, all of the F1 hybrid offspring had yellow seeds.
