Which of the following is a FALSE statement?

A)Phenotype determines genotype


B)Combinations of alleles are known as a genotype.


C)A gamete will only recieve one allele or another from a pair.


D)The inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of another trait.

Which of the following is a FALSE statement?
Look in your text book it's on page 137
Reply:A) Phenotype determines genotype





That is false because it's the genotype that determines the phenotype
Reply:A)
Reply:A
Reply:a) phenotype determines genotype . it's the other way around
Reply:A is false.





It is actually in reverse. The genotype determines if something is heterozygous or homozygous. That ends up determining what trait will be expressed and that means the phenotype..
Reply:Option "A" is a false statment.


b/c genotype determines the phenotype of an individual.


these r all the genes carry information abt the physical features,colour ,complexion,skin, eyes,hairs etc of an individual.


(B) , (C) AND (D) are all correct.
Reply:(a) is false.





--%26gt; your genotype (the combination of alleles you have) is what determines your phenotype (the appearance).
Reply:A and D.


A is backwards. The true statement would be "genotype determines phenotype... usually."





D is false. You'll find some traits on the same chromosome so closely together that there's no crossover point between them -- so they'd always be inherited together.
Reply:A) is reversed.
