When it finally flowers, the pansy is lavender. Explain how this happened.arrow_forwardYou are responsible for landscaping a very large urban park. You choose a popular flowering garden plant, the hydrangea, to plant throughout the park. The nursery you purchased the plants from said that the flowers should be pink. After a few months, though, you find—to your surprise—that the plants throughout the park display a variety of flower colors ranging from purple and blue, to pink and white, and finally, to all shades in between. After a suggestion from a friend, you test the soil where each plant was planted, and you determine that the color of the flowers seems to correlate with the acidity of the soil in which the plant was placed. Choose the answer that best fits the blank. The parentheses after the blanks are the choices. Since the flowers have shown such a broad range of colors, with no clear distinction between one color type and the next, this is an example of _________ (continuous variation, codominance, pleiotropy). The acidity of the soil is an example of…arrow_forward
