Question

From the following choose the correct statement related to mutations

• A. Changes in phenotype of organisms only
• B. Changes in genotype of organisms only
• C. Changes in phenotype and genotype of organisms
• D. No change in chromosome number

Hint:

Mutations may be silent (only genotypic), visible (phenotypic), or both — but always start at DNA level.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence (genotype) that can lead to changes in the protein expression and traits (phenotype).
Thus, both can be affected.
