What term defines the complete set of observable physical, biochemical, and behavioural traits of an organism resulting from genotype-environment interaction?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Phenotype
- Step 1: The underlying genetic composition is the genotype. Step 2. The actual physical, physiological, and behavioral expression influenced by environmental factors is the phenotype. Answer: Phenotype. Why not the others: Karyotype is the visual chromosome profile; haplotype is a set of linked genes; genotype is strictly the allelic code.
