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.

Genotype is the actual genes that determines characteristic, whereas Phenotype is the expressed characteristic.

Which phenotype pairing can the genotypes of the individuals be directly known?

The phenotype pairings which the genotypes of individuals be directly known are homozygous recessive.


What genotype is produced by the phenotype B?

Genotypes are not created by phenotypes, they are the alleles/genes of the organism. Genotypes (in combination with environment) produce phenotypes. It would be expected that the genotypes Bb and BB would produce the phenotype B.


How are the genotype and phenotype of parents related to the genotype and phenotypes of offsprings?

The parents can pass on only the alleles of their genotypes to their offspring. Therefore, the offspring genotypes and phenotypes are dependent solely upon the alleles inherited from the parents.


What a ratio?

A genotypic -ratio reflects the genetic configuration of an individual in the population. Several genotypes are possible in a phenotype and the ratio in which the genotypes segregate in a given phenotype is known as its genotypic ratio.

yes.


Is hair a type genotype or a phenotype?

A phenotype. Phenotypes are observable, physical traits. Genotypes have to do with the genetic coding. Since hair type is visible, it is a phenotype.


How cant two plants that have different genotypes have the same phenotype?

They cannot


Can two organisms have different genotypes but the same phenotype?

One way is if an allele for the gene in question is dominant. Homozygotes for the dominant allele and heterozygotes will both have the same phenotype.Organisms have the same phenotype, or physical characteristics. They do not, however, have the same genotype, or genetic makeup. If T represent tall, and t represnts short then the organism will have the genotypes TT and Tt. If you make a Punnett square you will have the same phenotype but different genotypes. Unless some weird mutation occurs....


How can two plants have different genotypes having the same phenotype?

The simplest way that two plants can have different genotypes, but the same phenotype, is if they both have a dominant allele for the same trait. For example, the genotypes Pp and PP, will both produce the phenotype created by P (for example, pink coloured petals). This is because P is dominant to p, and will always be expressed. Other ways that the same phenotype can be created from different genotypes are when the environment affects the traits, or when the trait is controlled by more than one gene.

What is meant by observed genotypes?

A phenotype is a physical characteristic. For a human an observed phenotype example would be hair colour (e.g brown) or eye colour (green). An observed phenotype is a physical characteristic that can be seen directly or indirectly (internal organs) caused by an individual's genotype.
