Are an organism's characteristics determined only by it's genes?
No, an organism's genetically expressed characteristics, or phenotype, may be altered or affected by its environment; in a purely physical connotation, Nature versus Nurture. There are dozens of Cell types yet we are told that all Cells contain the same set of Genes; how can this be? An organism is composed from organs. The characteristics of an organ are determined by the Expression of the genes that are ensconced in its Nucleus. It is highly common that many 'gene products' act as biochemical switches that by their presence, or absence, determine {called determination} wether or not another gene will be 'actively' expressed. This would be 'internal regulation'. The NEW SCIENCE OF EPIGENETICS focuses on the external or environmental molecular switches that effect (the) patterns of gene expression.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are inherited material that is in chromosomes. Traits are determined by the genetic information found on chromosomes.
What is the difference between phenotypic and genotypic characteristics?
Phenotype is you outside appearance and Genotype is your genes
How are genes aligned on homologous chromosomes?
The genes are aligned between the pole, since it's involving homologous chromosomes, where all characteristics of chromosomes are the same, it kind of makes sense that identical genes would be aligned between the poles.
What controls the characteristics of an organism?
Whether the allele is dominant or recessive.
Many of a person's characteristics are determined by an interaction between genes and the environment?
True :) (PAcyber student)
What animal characteristics are determined by genes?
Inherited ones
What is inheritance determined by the interaction of two or more pairs of genes?
Polygenic inheritance.
Are persons characteristics determined only by genes?
No, a person's characteristics are partly genetic and partly acquired; biologists refer to this as nature and nurture. For example, the fact that I speak English is not a genetic trait. I speak English because that is the language that my parents taught me to speak. The fact that I was capable of learning to speak English is genetic.

Which of the following is the best definition of the term phenotype?
Genotype is the alleles (different forms of a gene) which an individual has with respect to a particular characteristic. The Phenotype is how these genes are expressed in an individual.
Are person's characteritsics determined only by genes?
physical characteristics, yes. unless there was a mutation at birth

Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are inherited material that is in chromosomes. Traits are determined by the genetic information found on chromosomes.
What are hetrozgous?
What is heterozygous? Your inherited characteristics are determined by your genes. Zygosity refers to the similarity of genes for a trait in an organism. If both genes are different, the organism is heterozygous (hetero = different) for that trait. If both genes are the same, the organism is homozyous (homo = same).
Is it true that the inheritance of biological characteristics is determined by genes that are passed from their parents to their offspring?
It's a bit more complicated than that - but yes.
What is the interaction between genes and development in behavior know as A.developmental interaction B.gene environment C.extrinsic-intrinsic D.nature-nurture?
Nature vs Nurture
What is the difference between phenotypic and genotypic characteristics?
Phenotype is you outside appearance and Genotype is your genes
