phenotype
Phenotype.
It is known as their genome.
An individual's appearance is determined by a combination of genetic makeup, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices. Specific genetic variations influence traits like eye color, hair color, height, and facial features, but these traits can also be influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, and exposure to environmental toxins. Ultimately, each person's appearance is a unique combination of genetic inheritance and life experiences.
The sudden change in the genetic make up or genetic form of an individual is called gene mutation.
Some ladybugs lack spots due to genetic variations or mutations that affect their appearance.
Animals often have more uniform physical characteristics because they are adapted to specific environments and functions. Humans, on the other hand, have a wider range of diversity in appearance due to factors such as genetic variation, cultural influences, and individual choice.
Yes, the DNA of two individual mosquitoes will differ due to genetic variation. Genetic differences arise from mutations, recombination, and other genetic processes, resulting in unique combinations of genetic material in each individual mosquito. This genetic diversity is what allows for adaptation to different environments and contributes to the survival of the species.
In genetics, a mosaic refers to an organism that has cells with different genetic makeup due to mutations occurring after fertilization. This can result in patches of tissue with varying genetic characteristics within the same individual. Mosaicism can arise during embryonic development and is a common phenomenon in many organisms.
A specimen of organisms that are similar in appearance and behavior is called a population. They often share genetic traits, physical characteristics, and behavioral patterns due to their common ancestry and environmental influences.
Heredity causes individual differences because of genetic traits passed down from parent to child. The environment can cause individual differences due to inequality or even accidents.
DNA in cells refers to the genetic material inside each cell, while DNA in individuals refers to the unique combination of genetic material from both parents that make up an individual's genome. Each cell in an individual's body contains the same DNA, while individuals may have different DNA due to genetic variations inherited from their parents.
The appearance of random coarse white hair on the body is typically caused by a decrease in melanin production, which is the pigment responsible for hair color. This can occur naturally with age or due to genetic factors.
