What are an individuals expressed traits called?
genotype
What is traits that are recognizable called?
The visible traits are called phenotypic traits. These are the traits that affect an individual's' appearance like their eye and hair color.
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
What are physical traits?
Physical Traits are traits that you see right off. For example, your eye color, hair color, your nose shape etc.
What is a blended inheritance gene?
If you are talking about two different traits (lets say skin color, caucasian and African American) combining to make a "middle" color (golden tan), it would have to do with incomplete dominance. The traits appearances are not dominant over each other so neither are fully expressed. Some examples of incomplete dominance are: skin color, hair body (curly, wavy, straight), and height in humans. Another type of blending of traits has to do with co-dominance. Co-dominance is the expression of both dominant traits creating a splochy appearance of both traits. Do not confuse this with freckles which is a different trait on its own.

What are changes in certain traits like and eye color called?
Heredity
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
What is a set of alles in a gene called?
Different alleles of genes are called traits. For example hair color, eye color or blood type.
List the types of traits that exist?
Eye color, hair color, size of height, skin color.
Do some traits require more than one gene to be fully expressed?
Yes. There are some traits like skin color that are controlled by multiple genes within an individual. There is also a problem called nondisjunction that causes a gamete to wind up with two chromosomes instead of one. The offspring then has three chromosomes and three genes for each trait carried on that chromosome. (Nondisjunction of the 21st chromosome causes Down Syndrome, so someone with Down Syndrome has three genes for each trait on the 21st chromosome.)
How do you use genotype and phenotype in a sentence?
In genetics,the phenotype is when genes combine to determine dominant traits
Can one gene influence many traits?
YesYes. Those types of genes are called polygenic traits.
What physical traits?
Physical Traits are traits that you see right off. For example, your eye color, hair color, your nose shape etc.

What is a person's observable traits?
Observable traits refer to an obvious trait that a person possesses. These traits include hair color and eye color.
