In a pedigree chart, if a circle represents a female and a square represents a male, how would you represent an affected individual with a genetic disorder?
An affected individual is typically represented by a filled-in shape. For a female, it would be a filled circle, and for a male, it would be a filled square.

In a mountainous region, a species of wildflower exhibits different petal colors at varying altitudes. At lower altitudes, the flowers tend to have lighter petals, while at higher altitudes, the petals are darker. Researchers believe that the increased UV radiation at higher altitudes triggers the expression of genes responsible for producing pigments that protect the flowers from UV damage.
Question: What conclusion can be drawn about the relationship between altitude and petal color in these wildflowers?
A) As altitude increases, more flowers develop light petals.
B) Increased altitude does not affect petal color.
C) As altitude increases, more flowers develop dark petals to protect against UV radiation.
D) Petal color is random and not influenced by altitude.
