The effect of the signs in the tunneling matrix elements on the transmission zeros and the transmission phase in transport through a quantum dot is studied. The existence of the transmission zeros is determined by both the relative signs and the strength of the tunneling matrix elements for two neighboring energy levels of a dot. The experimentally observed oscillating behavior of the transmission phase over several Coulomb peaks can be explained by the uniform distribution of the relative signs. Based on the simple model of a quantum dot, we present a possible scenario which can give the uniform signs over several conductance peaks. We suggest that the location of the transmission zeros can be identified by inspecting the Fano interference pattern in the linear response conductance of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer with an embedded quantum as a function of the number of electrons in a dot and the AB flux.
