Phenotype does not determine genotype. Actually a genotype includes an organisms entire hereditary information. A phenotype is simply the organisms actual observed properties including appearance, development and behavior.

∙ 15y agoGenotype is the actual set of genes (called alleles which match the same location of each pair of chromosomes) carries by an organism (or in other words, the letter the gene gets). In contrast, phenotype is the observable characters and traits (genes). In other words, what genes show up.

∙ 15y agoactually genotypes determine phenotypes because if there are 2 capital letters or a capital and a lowercase letter then the offspring will most likely have the dominant trait but if there are 2 lowercase letters then the offspring will most likely have the recessive trait so Reginald C. punnet created the punnet square which determines the outcome of the offspring's traits.

∙ 14y agoYes, this is false. It's genotype that determines phenotype. e.g. If you have the dominant gene for brown eyes and the recessive gene for blue eyes (genotype) you will have brown eyes (phenotype)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes. Genotype is what genes you have (for example you might have the gene for blue eyes). Phenotype is the physical expression of your genes, which you observe (for example you might actually have blue eyes). The fact that you physically have blue eyes (that is your phenotype) does not determine that you have the gene for blue eyes (your genotype).
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoNo, that is incorrect. Genotype (genetics) determines the phenotype (physical characteristics and traits) of an individual organism.
You have to think logically about it. Why do we have the phenotypes that we have? Most of them are caused by the genetic code in our DNA (our genotype).

What determines an organsm phenotype?
An organism's genotype determines its phenotype.
Which is the FALSE statement a Phenotype determines genotype b Combination of alleles are known as genotype c A gamete will only receive one allele or another from a pair?
A. Because it goes like this: Phenotype = Genotype + developement.
Is ears genotype or phenotype?
phenotype.
is Ss a genotype or a phenotype?
Phenotype
What is a physical expression of a genotype?
a physical expression of a genotype is called PHENOTYPE
What determines an organsm phenotype?
An organism's genotype determines its phenotype.
Does phenotype determine genotype?
It is a false statement that "phenotype determines genotype". In fact, it is the opposite. A genotype is the genetics or "instructions" that determine the phenotype. The phenotype is the actual appearance, ex: blue eyes, that is created by a given genotype.
Can you accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype?
No, genotype actually determines phenotype.
Is phenotype determine genotype false?
Yes, this is false. It's genotype that determines phenotype. e.g. If you have the dominant gene for brown eyes and the recessive gene for blue eyes (genotype) you will have brown eyes (phenotype)
How are genotypes and phenotype related?
Genotype and phenotype are to words that are not related. Genotype refers to classification by comparing genetics. Phenotype refers to classification according to the appearance of an organism.
Which is the FALSE statement a Phenotype determines genotype b Combination of alleles are known as genotype c A gamete will only receive one allele or another from a pair?
A. Because it goes like this: Phenotype = Genotype + developement.
When can you accurately determine a person's genotype from their phenotype?
Yes you can accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype, however some phenotypic traits resulting from homozygous or heterozygous combinations of alleles, may make the prediction impossible.
What are an individual's observable traits called?
genotype or phenotype
How does genotype affect phenotypes?
They are related to each other because...Genes and alleles are the traits inside an object, when using a punnet square, we take the genotype out of that object to make experiments.
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
Is ears genotype or phenotype?
phenotype.
is Ss a genotype or a phenotype?
Phenotype
