Question

An experiment was conducted to determine whether a deficiency of carbon dioxide in the soil affects the phenotype of peas. Listed below are the phenotype codes where 1=smooth-yellow​, 2=smooth-green​, 3=wrinkled-yellow​, and 4=wrinkled-green. Do the results make​ sense?

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The results of the phenotype do not make any sense in relation to the main aim of the experiment.

Smooth, wrinkled, yellow, green describe attributes relating to seed texture and flower colours in a result that simulates that of a plant breeding experiment, rather than a plant physiology experiment.

The determination of the effects of carbon dioxide deficiency in the soil on the phenotypes of peas is a physiological experiment. Hence, a result in the form of a plant breeding experiment would make not be relevant.
