Q. Which of the following statements are false? I. A Dominant allele determines the phenotype when paired with a recessive allele II. A recessive allele is weaker than a dominant allele III. A recessive allele do not shows its effects when paired with a dominant allele IV. A dominant allele is always better for an organism
A) II, I and IV
B) II, III and IV
C) I, II and III
D) I, III and IV
Explanation
A recessive allele is not weaker than the dominant allele. It (recessive allele) does not shows its effect (in the presence of dominant allele) because of modified or different enzymes. A recessive allele make its gene product even when paired with the dominant allele. It is not necessary that dominant allele always better (in the case of dominant disease)
