Genes that come together with different alleles are called _____.
A phenotype is the whole set of the characteristic of an organism, like physical characteristics (colour of skin, presence of plumes, presence of wings), behavior (like type of nest, nutritional habits and so on). The phenotype is the result of the so called genotype (the set of inherited genetic information) and of the organism history and experience.

One environmental factor that can affect an organism's phenotype is the presence of stress hormones like cortisol. High levels of cortisol can impact an organism's physical characteristics, behavior, and overall health, leading to changes in the phenotype.
The phenotype of a human female typically includes two X chromosomes (XX), which influence the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics. These characteristics often include the presence of breasts, a wider pelvis, and a generally higher percentage of body fat compared to males. Additionally, females usually have a higher range of vocal pitch and a different distribution of body hair. Environmental factors and individual variations can also affect the phenotype.
Incomplete Dominance
It is called codominance or incomplete dominance.
When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.
Mixed is an adjective that describes the mingling of different items as in a box of mixed chocolates. Mixed can also describe the presence of competing characteristics as in mixed emotions. It can be used to describe ethnicity as in mixed race.
Phenotype is the displayed characteristics of the organism, as opposed to the genotype, which is the gene sequence of the organism. Phenotype is important because it includes everything that the organism can do. Whether a plant is pink or red, an example of phenotype, can influence whether or not a bee will be attracted and pollenate it. The presence of cystic fibrosis, a debilitating disorder in humans, is caused by genotype but expressed through phenotype, and can be the difference between death at twenty or a long life to eighty.
