Csecondary growth in dicots
Ddeterminate growth of the root
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. phenotypic plasticity from environment
Heterophylly is the formation of different leaf shapes on the same plant in response to environment (e.g. underwater vs above water in coriander or buttercup).
**It shows phenotypic plasticity:** identical genome, environment-dependent expression.
