Mutations Will Affect The

Question

Mutations will affect the
A) genotype without affecting the phenotype.
B) phenotype without affecting the genotype.
C) genotype, which may affect the phenotype.
D) phenotype, which may affect the genotype.

Accepted Answer

Mutations affect the genotype, which ultimately determines the phenotype. However, the extent to which the phenotype is affected by the genotype mutation depends on the specific mutation and its location within the DNA sequence. Therefore, choice C is the best answer as it acknowledges that mutations may affect the genotype and subsequently impact the phenotype.
