The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "An inherited character and its detectable variant is termed as:", we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Terms**: The question is asking for a term that describes both an inherited character and its observable variant. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options given are: - Unit factor - Trait - Genetic profile - Genotypic character 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Unit Factor**: This term refers to genes, which are indeed inherited but do not represent the observable characteristics directly. Therefore, this option is not correct. - **Trait**: A trait is a specific characteristic of an organism that can be observed and is inherited. This fits the definition of both an inherited character and its detectable variant. - **Genetic Profile**: This term refers to the complete set of genes or genetic information of an organism. It is not directly observable and does not represent a specific character, making it an incorrect option. - **Genotypic Character**: This refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. While it is inherited, it is not necessarily observable, thus making this option incorrect as well. 4. **Conclusion**: The only option that accurately describes an inherited character and its detectable variant is **Trait**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Trait**. ---
