In a species of clover, leaf pattern is controlled by a single gene with a dominance hierarchy of three alleles: VHV^HVH (high patterning), VMV^MVM (medium patterning), and VLV^LVL (low patterning), where VH>VM>VLV^H > V^M > V^LVH>VM>VL.
One clover plant has the genotype VHVL V^H V^L\,VHVL and another clover plant has the genotype VHVM V^H V^M\,VHVM for this gene.
Which statement correctly describes these two clover plants?
They have different phenotypes and different genotypes for this characteristic.
They have different phenotypes but the same genotype for this characteristic.
They have the same phenotype but different genotypes for this characteristic.
They have the same phenotype and the same genotype for this characteristic.
