Using height (tallness / dwarfness) of a plant as an example, show that genes control the characteristics or traits in an organism.
Solution
The plants have genes which have the ability to produce enzyme for growth. If enzymes are efficient more growth hormone are produced thus plant grow in length..
If the gene for that enzyme has an alteration that makes the enzyme less efficient, the amount of hormone produced will be less and a plant will be short.
