Question 4
Which of these does a child inherit from its parents?
The right answer is the one marked above.
The genotype, from which the phenotype is then built. What is transmitted is alleles. The phenotype is produced afresh in each individual, from its genotype and the conditions it grows in.
This is why a well-fed parent does not have a larger child, and why a tall-genotype pea starved of water is still short.
