no not always due to some phenotypes having more than one gene sequence that affects it, eg; the base sequence for a certain enzyme's synthesis could be TTT but by substituting a T with a C to make TTC in mutation could still be a code for the same enzyme...

The existence of [any and all] phenotypes directly results from the Expression of All of the Genes that are responsible for the physical implementation of that phenotype.

Most (see Wobble base pairs) changes in the genetic sequence of the organism's chromosomes - it's genotype - will also cause changes in it's phenotype.

The genotype against the immediate environment and developmental processes. Each organism has a unique environment too. Think about it. Even identical twins are not totally their genotype because they are subject to not only the same environment, usually, but the unique experiences and formative processes of their unique environment.

A mutation will change the genotype of the individual but not necessarily the phenotype. A dominant mutation will show up immediately where as a recessive mutation may take many generations before any single individual displays the recessive phenotype. The frequency of the mutated gene will only increase in a population if selection for the trait occurs (i.e. if it is beneficial to the population).

Mutations change the genotype but all mutations do not lead to a change in phenotype.

Genetic mutations change the genotype of an affected organism. Some changes in the genotype can be expressed in the 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.

How phenotype and genotype relate?

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.

No, genotype actually determines phenotype.


How is genotype and phenotype compared?

Genotype is the allele combination and phenotype is the physical appearance of the result of the genotype. Genotype for tallness may be: Tt Phenotype example: Brown hair, blue eyes, widow's peak, etc.
