These structures can vary in shape and function, but one of their roles is to protect the plant from various environmental factors, including pests and diseases. In the case of peach nectarines, the absence of fruit skin is likely due to the presence of trichomes, which may have a different texture or appearance compared to the skin of other fruits.

Genetic studies suggest nectarines are produced due to a recessive
- Allel
- Fruit
- Allele
- Flower
Correct Answer

A. Allele

Explanation

Genetic studies suggest that nectarines are produced due to a recessive allele. An allele is a variant form of a gene, and in this case, the recessive allele is responsible for the development of nectarines instead of peaches. This means that for a nectarine to be produced, both copies of the gene must carry this recessive allele. This information from genetic studies helps explain the genetic basis of nectarine production.
