Can you accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype?
No, genotype actually determines phenotype.
Does phenotype determine genotype?
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.
When can you accurately determine a person's genotype from their phenotype?
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.
What is the organism physical apperance is?
Do you mean the phenotype?The phenotype is not only the organisms appearance but also the organisms behavior.
An organisms appearance is known as?
phenotype
What is what is an organisms outward appearance?
The phenotype.
The Phenotype determines genotype?
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.
Which is the FALSE statement a Phenotype determines genotype b Combination of alleles are known as genotype c A gamete will only receive one allele or another from a pair?
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.
Can 2 organisms have different genotypes but the same phenotype?
No. It is possible for the reverse to be true, two organisms can have the same phenotype but a different genotype. This is because the phenotype is what you will see on the outside whereas the genotype is the combination of alleles and since this determines the phenotype, two organisms with the same genotype will have the same phenotype. So, basically, no. Actually 2 organisms can certainly have different phenotypes with the same genotype--this refers to the concept of penetrance. Some people can have the gene for a condition but never show symptoms. An excellent example of this is the disease neurofibromatosis. This disease has very variable penetrance in which a child of an affected parent may show no signs of the disease, but then have a child with a severe form.
What is an organisms way its genotype is expressed?
Phenotype
