Question

Which statement about dominant and recessive alleles is not correct? A A dominant characteristic is seen in the phenotype of a heterozygote. B A homozygous genotype may be either dominant or recessive. C Recessive phenotypes always have two recessive alleles. D The phenotype of a homozygote is always dominant.

Answer 1

Answer:The statement about dominant and recessive alleles which is incorrect is 'D'.

Explanation:

D says the phenotype of a homozygote is always dominant which is not true since recessive characters also express their phenotypes in homozygous condition. Hence, the phenotype of a homozygote can either be dominant or recessive depending on the genotype.
