What does the term phenotype mean?
The term phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism, resulting from the interaction between its genetic makeup (genotype) and the environment. It includes physical traits like height, eye color, and behavior, as well as physiological traits like metabolism and disease susceptibility.
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.
What is a pehnotype?
A phenotype refers to the traits being expressed in the organism, for example my phenotype is blue eyes, brown hair and blood group A +ve.
How is genotype and phenotype compared?
Genotype is the allele combination and phenotype is the physical appearance of the result of the genotype. Genotype for tallness may be: Tt Phenotype example: Brown hair, blue eyes, widow's peak, etc.
Is hair a type genotype or a phenotype?
A phenotype. Phenotypes are observable, physical traits. Genotypes have to do with the genetic coding. Since hair type is visible, it is a phenotype.
Is brown hair color a genotype?
No it's a phenotype because it says the physical characteristic if it was like Bb for example it would be the genotype. (I just made Bb up, that's not actually the genotype for brown hair color!)
Suppose that brown hair color is dominant over red hair color in humans Which of the statements is true?
If brown hair is dominant over red hair, then a person who is heterozygous for brown hair will have a brown hair phenotype. Red-haired offspring with two brown-haired parents are fairly common.
What is a organism's phenotype?
A phenotype is how genes manifest themselves - the characteristics you end up having. - So if you have one gene that gives you blue eyes and one gene that gives you brown eyes (if the browneye gene is dominant) the phenotype of your eyes will be brown.
What genotype results in the same phenotype?
A phenotype is the actual result that you can actually see, whereas the genotype is the allele or gene that causes the phenotype. Lets say that brown hair is dominant and which is caused by an allele that we'll represent with B, and lets say that red hair is cause by a recessive allele that we'll represent with b. A genotype is represented by a combination of 2 of these alleles. So we have BB, Bb and bb as our possible genotypes of the child. One of the alleles is from the mom and the other from the dad. BB means that both of the parents have brown hair, which means the offspring will have brown hair, and since both parents have brown hair and brown is dominant, we call the offspring homozygous dominant for that genotype. Homozygous means the same. Bb means that on parent has brown hair and the other has red hair or at least carries the red hair trait. This offspring will have brown hair because B is dominant over b. We call this heterozygous dominant. Heterozygous means different. Last we have the bb. this means that either both parents have red hair or both have the traits for red hair. This offspring will have red hair because they do not have any dominant genes. This is called homozygous recessive. Now this is just an example. hair color is gets much more complicated then this but that's the basic idea for all genotypes and phenotypes. I hope this helps at least some.
What is observable inheritence?
This is another way of saying phenotype. It is what you see as the results of genetic inheritance. Blue eyes, brown hair, height and more.
An organism's phenotype is its?
an organism's phenotype is its fetures
Is a phenotype a organism?
The characteristics it obtains from its' phenotype (genetic material; DNA)For Example:AA (Genotype) codes for long hair (phenotype).
