No, a person's characteristics are partly genetic and partly acquired; biologists refer to this as nature and nurture. For example, the fact that I speak English is not a genetic trait. I speak English because that is the language that my parents taught me to speak. The fact that I was capable of learning to speak English is genetic.

Is it true that the only thing determined by the genes carried on sex chromosome is a person gender?
Yes
Skin color in humans is a simple trait and is determined by only one pair of genes or alleles true or false?
true
Which of these statements is true biology aplus?
only some genes located on the X chromosome control female sexual characteristics
What is recessive traite?
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent.
Can only be determined by changing a substance?
Chemical properties can only be determined by changing a substance.
Is a persons height determined by genes only?
No. Height can also be determined by environmental factors such as diet.
Are person's characteritsics determined only by genes?
physical characteristics, yes. unless there was a mutation at birth
Are an organism's characteristics determined only by it's genes?
No, an organism's genetically expressed characteristics, or phenotype, may be altered or affected by its environment; in a purely physical connotation, Nature versus Nurture. There are dozens of Cell types yet we are told that all Cells contain the same set of Genes; how can this be? An organism is composed from organs. The characteristics of an organ are determined by the Expression of the genes that are ensconced in its Nucleus. It is highly common that many 'gene products' act as biochemical switches that by their presence, or absence, determine {called determination} wether or not another gene will be 'actively' expressed. This would be 'internal regulation'. The NEW SCIENCE OF EPIGENETICS focuses on the external or environmental molecular switches that effect (the) patterns of gene expression.
Are a person characteristic determined only by genes?
No- some are determined by environment. If you are tanned, have callouses on your hands, have strong arms and a 6 pack abs- that came only partially from your genes. Exposure to sunlight and hard labor got you the rest.
Why is a persons phenotype harder to predict than a persons genotype?
Because peoples appearances changes as their body changes.
Do male dogs get the genes of their father when born?
They get the genes of both parents. Only one chromosome determines gender, but the rest of the traits are determined by both parents.
Is it true that the only thing determined by the genes carried on sex chromosome is a person gender?
Yes
Skin color in humans is a simple trait and is determined by only one pair of genes or alleles true or false?
true
Do only some of the genes located on the X chromosome control female sexual characteristics?
The X and Y chromosomes determine the sex of the individual, but most of the genes are not directly involved in that.
Why are white blood cells often used to study a persons genes?
because they are the only blood cells with a core .That means that they have dna
Which of these statements is true biology aplus?
only some genes located on the X chromosome control female sexual characteristics
Can Chinese people only have brown or black eyes?
Although Chinese people predominantly have brown or black eyes due to inherited genes it is possible for anyone from any race to have any colour of eyes due to eye colour being determined by multiple genes.
