a phenotype is the exterior expression of a predisposed genotype, ie. hair colour. These are both due to the genetical makeup of the parent cells.

∙ 9y agoThe relationship between phenotype and genotype is that they both are part of genetics. Phenotypes are expressed on the outside of the organism while genotypes are the genetic make ups of the organism.

Describe how phenotypes can be used to predict genotypes in a pedigree?
When enough phenotypes in a family are known the genotypes can be infered.
Which genotypes have dominant phenotypes?
The genotypes in which one or more alleles is dominant.
Can phenotypes OB produce genotypes As?
No.
What is the probability of genotypes and phenotypes?
What is the probability that any of the offspring between individuals with the genotype AABbCcddEE will have the genotype AABBCCddEE
Why isn't it possible to have more genotypes than phenotypes?
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
What genotype is produced by the phenotype B?
Genotypes are not created by phenotypes, they are the alleles/genes of the organism. Genotypes (in combination with environment) produce phenotypes. It would be expected that the genotypes Bb and BB would produce the phenotype B.
Does natural selection act on genotypes?
Indirectly, yes it does. But it can only act on genotypes through their phenotypes.
What polygenic trait can have many possible genotypes and -?
Many possible genotypes, producing ,any possible phenotypes.
AAA AAA what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes os their children?
Possible genotypes would be AA and Aa. Phenotypes cannot be determined here because they are the physical, observable results of a genotype.
Which can you physically see genotypes or phenotypes?
You can see the phenotype. A good way to remember is that a photograph is what you see. The genotype is the graphic representation of the trait.
What is the name of the chart that shows possible phenotypes and genotypes and genotypes?
punnet square
What might the phenotypes be of two organisms that were found to have different genotypes but the same phenotype?
Phenotypes refer to the visible traits (or characteristics). Genotypes are the underlying causes for those traits. There may be different genotypes that cause the same phenotype. If the observable traits from one individual are the same from another individual, one can say they have the same phenotypes.
