How do you deterime phenotypes?
phenotypes are decided by the alleles for that particular characteristic, by a dominant or two recessive alleles. For example, cystic fibrosis has a recessive allele so the phenotype of cystic fibrosis would only appear if there were two of the recessive allele, one from each parent, were present. A heterozygous carrier of the cystic fibrosis allele would show the phenotype of not having cystic fibrosis. So to determine the phenotype simply find out which allele is dominant and find what alleles each parent has the the probability of each phenotype can be calculated
