Select the incorrect statement from the following:

  1. A
    Galactosemia is an inborn error of metabolism
  2. B
    Small population size results in random genetic drift in a population
  3. C
    Baldness is a sex-limited trait
  4. D
    Linkage is an exception to the principle of independent assortment in heredity

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Baldness is a sex-influenced trait, not a sex-limited trait. In sex-influenced traits, the same genotype is expressed differently in males and females (e.g., dominant in males but recessive in females). Sex-limited traits are expressed in only one sex (e.g., milk production).
