Question

mendels manuscript discussing his pea - breeding results is considered one of the two most important scientific papers of the nineteenth century because he was the first to explain how
mutations produced the variety of alleles displayed by individuals of the same species.
traits are passed from one generation to the next.
meiosis controls the distribution of alleles to each gamete.
genes are arranged on chromosomes in the cell.
question 5
which of the following does not represent a phenotype?
a persons susceptibility to addisons disease
the height of a draft horse
the alleles in a mouse that control hair color
the extent to which an individual is shy

Explanation:

A phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genotype (genetic makeup) with the environment. The alleles in a mouse that control hair color represent the genotype (the genetic information), not the phenotype (the observable trait like brown or black hair). A person's susceptibility to Addison's disease (a trait influenced by genes and environment), the height of a draft horse (a physical characteristic), and the extent to which an individual is shy (a behavioral characteristic) are all phenotypes.

Answer:

the alleles in a mouse that control hair color
