Recessive traits allow two individuals to have the same phenotype but different genotypes.

For example;

G = Green bean seed colour (Dominant allele)
g = Yellow bean seed colour (Recessive allele)

Parents: GG x gg
Gametes: Gg x Gg

Generation 1: 1 GG, 2 Gg and 1 gg

Three of the offspring will have green seeds and one will have yellow seeds. Those three green seeds have one phenotype, but two possible genotypes.

Is hair type a genotype or a phenotype?

The genotype is the combination of genes, for example, one inherited brown hair gene is a B (dominant), and one blond hair gene is a b (recessive). The possible genotypes in this example are BB, Bb, and bb. A phenotype is the real-world description of the trait, so the phenotypes for the genotypes listed above would be, in order, brown, brown, and blond. obviously, this is a simplified example. Possible phenotypes for hair color vary widely, and are ever natural color of hair possible: black, brown, light brown, blonde, red, strawberry blonde, etc.

How many of the possible types of offspring had the same genotype as the parents?

Use a punnet square it may be a little tricky though.Just remember which letter is dominant and which one is recessive.heterozygous and Homozygous.


Is it possible for two persons to have exactly the same genotype?

Phenotype refers to "what the organism looks like to the naked eye". You can think of it as - "If I look at that organism, what does it LOOK like? Is it tall, short, wrinkled, smooth, etc..".Genotype refers to "what are the genetic reasons for why that item looks the way it looks?" Are the Alleles (one of the member of a pair or series of genes) homozygous or heterozygous? If an organism Alleles are homozygous it means that they are purebred for either the recessive or dominant trait (FF or ff). If an organisms Alleles are heterozygous for a specific trait it is due to a hybrid pairing (Ff).Thus you could have 2 different organisms that have a phenotype of being TALL, but the reason for that could be based on a genotype of either Tt or TT (where T is the dominant trait for tallness).


What is phenotype of Rr?

It is Dominant. R is the dominant and r is the recessive. The dominate trait shadows the recessive trait. It is Dominant. R is the dominant and r is the recessive. The dominate trait shadows the recessive trait. Is dominant. dominant can be RR or Rr. but when its recessive its rr.

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.

No. They might have the same phenotype, but would not have the same genotype.


What is the phenotype of all four offspring's?

Generally, if the parents are heterozygous and one allele is dominant over the other there are only 2 phenotypes and 3 genotypes. Parents Aa can produce AA, Aa and aa offspring. If the heterozygous individuals have an intermediate phenotype, then three genotypes and 3 phenotypes are possible. If 2 traits are being studied using heterozygous parents AaBb then the possible Genotypes are AABB, AABb, AAbb, AaBB, AaBb, Aabb, aaBb, aaBB, aabb which is nine genotypes. But there are 4 phenotypes. AABB AABb AaBB AaBb are phenotypically the same. aaBb, aaBB are phenotypically the same. Aabb, AAbb are phenotypically the same. aabb


What is the phenotype of a man who has 2 parents with free hanging earlobes if one parent is homozygous and the other parent is heteroygous... what are his possible genotypes?

The possible genotypes HH and Hh. 50% homozygous for hanging earlobes (HH), and 50% heterozygous for hanging earlobes (Hh).
