Genetic Testing for Complex Traits ____

Question

Genetic testing for complex traits ____.
A) does not supply enough information to make it useful
B) reveals the phenotype of the organism
C) reveals the effects of the environment on the genome
D) reveals how many genes are involved in producing the trait
E) cannot exactly define risks

Accepted Answer

Genetic testing for complex traits, such as those influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors, cannot provide an exact measure of the risk of developing the trait or disease. It can only indicate potential predisposition based on genetic markers or mutations. Thus, while it can be informative, it has limitations in predicting and preventing complex traits and diseases.
