Scientists compare two different plant species. in species a, the leaf color is controlled by two alleles. in species b, leaf color is controlled by five alleles. how will these two plants be different? .

As the leaf color is controlled by five alleles, the species B will exhibit a broader array of leaf colors.

Explanation:

The species A will demonstrate three distinct phenotypes, however, the species B will demonstrate many more combinations in comparison to species A. The more the number of alleles, the more will be the probabilities of the combinations. The number of combination suggests the broader range of leaf colors, like the height in humans, is controlled by many alleles, that is, it is a polygenic trait. Thus, the species exhibiting more than two alleles will exhibit a greater range of characters.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
