True or False: You can always tell a person鈥檚 genotype from his/her phenotype.?

False...for example





In a person with brown eyes (which is their phenotype), you wouldn't know if their genotype (represented as B-dominant brown %26amp; b-recessive-blue)was BB or Bb. True or False: You can always tell a person鈥檚 genotype from his/her phenotype.?
That is definitely false because if your phenotype is sumthin like black


hair, the person can have both genotype Xx or XX assuming the black hair is dominantTrue or False: You can always tell a person鈥檚 genotype from his/her phenotype.?
If it is a recessive trait, yes because there is no other possiblillity.





If it is a dominant trait, no because they may be heterozygeous or homozygeous.
False.





You cannot detect recessive genes when the dominant phenotype is expressed.
false they mite hav a dominant allele that can be hetrozygous or homozygous
