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 receive 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?
A is false





D is not always true - some genes are linked, such that they tend to be inherited together or not at all, but as a rule of thumb I guess it holds upWhich of the following is a FALSE statement?
A. is false because it's backwards. The genotype determines the phenotype.





D. is true when the genes for the traits are not linked. But it looks like you are just starting the genetics unit, so don't think about that yet.
C. A gamete will only receive one allele or another from a pair
