Question

In a large population, for precise measurements of penetrance, it is essential to record

  1. Genotypes

  2. Phenotypes

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of these

hintHint:

Both a and b

The correct answer is:

Both a and b


    In cases of complete penetrance, all of the individuals in a population who carry a specific genotype express the corresponding phenotype. However, some genes do not show complete penetrance. In cases of incomplete penetrance, less than 100% of the individuals who bear a particular genotype express the corresponding phenotype. For accurate measurements of penetrance, it is necessary to record genotypes and phenotypes in a large population.
