Which of the following correctly summarises the distinction between an organism’s genotype and their phenotype?
A. genotype refers to the alleles that an organism has inherited for a particular gene, while phenotype refers to all of an organism’s observable traits
B. genotype refers to any observable characteristics arising from an organism’s genome, while phenotype refers to the expression of traits based on the environment
Which of the following is not true of sex-linked genes?
A. There are more genes on the X chromosome than on the Y chromosome.
B. If a male inherits a recessive allele on his X chromosome it will not be expressed in his phenotype
C. X-linked traits are less likely to be expressed in females than they are in males, as females have two copies of the X chromosome.
