Which of the following is least likely to be supported by genetic research on sex?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sex is generally considered a binary variable in genetic terms, based on the presence of XX or XY chromosomes, although this view is overly simplistic and does not account for the complexity of sex determination and differentiation. Genetic research supports the existence of intersex conditions (B), the influence of genetics on traits like height (C), and the role of environmental factors in development (D). However, the statement that sex is not a continuous variable (A) is less likely to be supported, as genetic research acknowledges variations beyond the binary classification, including intersex conditions and the influence of multiple genes beyond just the sex chromosomes.
