Perhaps you mean to ask if gravity "affects" the phenotype of a plant? In a word, yes. For instance, a tree typically grows in a vertical direction. If a pot that holds a young tree is tilted at an angle, the new growth will be vertical, although the existing trunk will be at an angle relative to the ground. Most plants that live on land can tell which way is up and respond to this as they grow.

"To effect" something means to make it happen. Gravity does have effects on plant phenotypes, but gravity doesn't "effect" the phenotype of a plant.

Which correctly states the phenotype of the plant?

The phenotype of a plant refers to its observable traits or characteristics. A correct statement about the phenotype of a plant would describe specific traits that can be observed, such as the color of its flowers, the height of its stems, or the shape of its leaves.


Is it possible to have a knockout mutant plant that shows no visible phenotype that is different from the wild type plant?

Yes it is possible, not every gene present in an organism is expressed in the phenotype. example some genes code for a plant to be able to reproduce, a plant which has that gene knocked out does not necessarily mean that it would look any different from its wild type. The plant just wont be able to reproduce. H. Williams 2014.


Does a Tt plant have the same genotype as a TT plant?

Nope! TT is the dominant phenotype (what ever it may be) and tt is the recessive phenotype (what ever that may be).So say T is the allele for Tall plants, t is the allele for short plants. TT would be show the tall phenotype while tt would show the short phenotype. If the genotype was Tt, the phenotype would be tall as well because the T is dominant and masks the phenotype of t (short plants).

What is phenotype for tall plant?

The phenotype for a tall plant refers to its physical characteristic of being tall, such as its height compared to other plants. This can be influenced by genetic factors, environmental conditions, and interactions between genes and the environment.


Does gravity have any effect on plant?

Yes it does. Plant seeds distinguish between up and down based on gravity. Thatis how they decide the direction in which to send the first shoot. This needs to go in the "up" direction so that it can then capture sunlight and produce energy for its growth.
