a) Phenotypes
= Flower color in Bougainvillea glabra. Two color phenotypes were observed, purple and
yellow. He hypothesized that color was controlled by a single gene where the allele for purple
was dominant (P) and the allele for yellow was recessive (p).

d) Organ of plant
= Organs with ornamental values of Bougainvillea are the floral bracts enriched with betalains
which are water-soluble and stored in vacuoles, showing brilliant color in flowers or fruits of
species in the order Caryophyllalles.

DISCUSSION
There are two flowers we did research which are bougainvillea and hibiscus. From
these flowers, we describe each part inside. After that, we draw the diagram of plant
reproductive organ and monohybrid cross of each flower. Then, we identify the
organ of these two flowers.

In conclusion, genetics is the scientific study of genes and heredity of how
certain qualities or traits are passed from parents to offspring as a result of
changes in DNA sequence. A gene is a segment of DNA that contains
instructions for building one or more molecules that helpthe body work. Which
means, g enetics is the study of genes and tries to explain what they are and
how they work. Genes are how living organisms inherit features or traits from
their ancestors; for example, children usually look like their parents because
they have inherited their parents' genes.
