Answer:

The phenotype of an organism reflects all the traits that are actually expressed.

Explanation:

Phenotype refers to the visible or evidentiable characteristics that depend on the genotype, which is stored in the DNA. Phenotypic expression, mainly determined by genes, also depends on the influence of the environment on the individual.

Although the phenotype expresses characteristics such as skin, eye and hair color, height or shape of the nose, some characteristics are not entirely visible, such as specific functions or synthesized proteins.

The other options are not correct because:

<em>Represents its genetic composition: this is genotype. </em>
<em>Phenotype occurs in all individuals, both dominant and recessive.</em>
<em>Many phenotypical characteristics are visible.</em>

18. Which types of mutations, positive, negative or neutral, are most likely to be seen in offspring

Temka [501]

<h2>The following scenarios state whether the mutation is likely to be passed on to the offspring of the organism or not: </h2><h2> </h2>

a. A single bacteria cell contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is likely to pass as it is a unicellular organism with the cell itself containing the positive mutation.

b. A skin cell on a cat contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is not likely to pass as it is the skin cell.

C. A sperm cell in a whale contains a positive mutation in its DNA - The mutation is likely to pass as it is in the sperm.

In Drosophila, Wolbachia-infected males ' fertilization of uninfected eggs by sperm often results in an early developmental arrest.

Therefore the answer is -
