Question

Clover is a plant that is found in many fields in Europe. There is a genetic polymorphism present in clover in Europe associated with the release of cyanide from the leaf tissue, when the leaf tissue is damaged. Individuals of type AA release lots of cyanide when the leaf is damaged, Aa individuals an intermediate amount, and aa individuals NO cyanide. The release of cyanide when the leaf is damaged prevents or reduces other leaves of the plant from being eaten by herbivorous animals, such as slugs, cattle, etc.

Answer 1

Absolutely, Genetic Polymorphism is observed

Step-by-step explanation:

In genetics, Polymorphism refers to the regular existence of two or more different genotypes within a given species or population.

Definitely, the Clover leaf as described above exhibit genetic Polymorphism, bearing that the existence of the 3 genotypes: AA, Aa, and aa in Same species of Clover has been observed.

Note that this condition occurs because that natural selection is unable to pick a single trait above another; thus diverse phenotype of Clover leaves are observed.
