Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Phenotype, the observable traits of an organism, can be influenced by both its genotype (genetic makeup) and environmental factors. Therefore, the genotype cannot always be accurately inferred from the phenotype alone, as different genotypes can produce similar phenotypes under certain environmental conditions.
