Three plants are grown in the same environmental conditions with equal sunlight, water and space to grow. One plant grew a purple flower while the other two grew white flowers. What is the most likely conclusion that can be made for the change in flower color?
The most likely conclusion that can be made for the change in flower color is that the genes responsible for flower color vary among the plants. Each plant carries different sets of genes that determine their flower color. It is possible that one plant had genes that produce a purple pigment, while the other two had genes that produce a white pigment.
Environmental factors caused a genetic mutation that caused the differences in flower color.
