No, genotype actually determines phenotype.
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.
Yes you can accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype, however some phenotypic traits resulting from homozygous or heterozygous combinations of alleles, may make the prediction impossible.
Do you mean the phenotype?The phenotype is not only the organisms appearance but also the organisms behavior.
phenotype
The phenotype.
The FALSE statement is "A phenotype determines genotype." In reality, it is the genotype that determines the phenotype, as the genetic information (allele combinations) present in an individual's DNA influences their observable traits.
Phenotype does not determine genotype. Actually a genotype includes an organisms entire hereditary information. A phenotype is simply the organisms actual observed properties including appearance, development and behavior.
Phenotype
an organisms phiscal appearance
False. An organisms physical appearance is its phenotype.
