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 137Which of the following is a FALSE statement?
A) Phenotype determines genotype





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





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