Final answer:
The terms 'genotype' and 'phenotype' are incorrectly described in the statement. The genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism, and the phenotype is the organism's observable characteristics that result from the genotype's expression and environmental factors.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the term "genotype" refers to the individual morphological make-up is false, while the term "phenotype" refers to the observable genetic sequence is also false. Genotype describes the genetic makeup of an individual, which consists of the genes they have inherited from their parents. On the other hand, phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits, such as hair color, skin color, height, and build that result from the interaction of the genotype with the environment. For example, Mendel's experiments with pea plants showed that phenotypes, like the color of pea pods, could be observed directly. If a plant had yellow pods, this was its phenotype. However, the genetic makeup that led to those yellow pods, which could include both dominant and recessive alleles, represents its genotype. The F1 hybrid plants had yellow pods like one of the true-breeding parents (phenotypically identical), but their genotypes contained both the yellow (dominant) and green (recessive) alleles, as evidenced in the F2 generation offspring.
