    Peach nectarines are characterized by the absence of fruit skin

    • Tritate

    • Nitrate

    • Trichomes

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Trichomes
    Explanation
    Trichomes are tiny hair-like structures found on the surface of plants, including fruit trees. 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. Therefore, trichomes can be considered as a characteristic feature of peach nectarines.

    Genetic studies suggest nectarines are produced due to a recessive  - ProProfs

    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.
