Children who are born with the genetic disease Phenylketonuria can be put on a special diet that prevents mental retardation. This illustrates the point that: • Interventions that target biological processes can change how genotypes are expressed in phenotypes. Different phenotypic processes might lead to the same genotype. There is a one-to-one correspondence between genotypes and phenotypes. • All of the options are true.
