Question

Which of the following statements is FALSE?

a. alleles are made when one original DNA strand experiences mutations that result in phenotypes that offer advantages
b. the DNA of two alleles must be almost identical. since the trait is the same. But the effect of the allele may be very different!
c. in humans, for every trait we can only have two alleles. but that trait can be controlled by many alleles. there are no limits on how many alleles can control a trait.
d. being diploid means that humans cannot mask the effects of recessive alleles. humans always show both alleles in their phenotypes and genotypes
e. if humans were diploid we would only have one allele per trait
Helpppp pleaseee

Answer 1

d. being diploid means that humans cannot mask the effects of recessive alleles. humans always show both alleles in their phenotypes and genotypes

Step-by-step explanation:

Being diploid means humans carry two sets of chromosomes. Since we have both dominant and recessive gene types, humans can mask the effect of recessive alleles since the dominant trait will be seen in the phenotype or genotype since it is a dominant gene. The effect of the recessive allele will show up only if both diploid genes are recessive.
