What is the name given to the collection of traits exhibited by an organism?
Phenotype.
What is the name given for the actual physical trait of a person?
Phenotype
Which term is given to the measure of the proportion of offspring that a particular phenotype will contribute to the next generation?
Progeny
The physical appearance of the entire set of chromosomes of a given animal is called a what?
The physical appearance of the entire set of chromosomes of a given animal is called a karyotype. It was first defined by Levitsky.
Explain the difference between intermediate inheritance and codominance?
In codominance, neither phenotype is recessive. Instead, the heterozygous individual expresses bothphenotypes. Intermediate inheritance is when neither allele is dominant to another, but a mixture is produced in the 2 alleles present. A mixed phenotype is given that is between the two parents phenotype .e.g Red flowers (RR) crossed with white flowers (WW) produces pink flowers (RW).
What a ratio?
A genotypic -ratio reflects the genetic configuration of an individual in the population. Several genotypes are possible in a phenotype and the ratio in which the genotypes segregate in a given phenotype is known as its genotypic ratio.
What is the name given to the collection of traits exhibited by an organism?
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.
What is the name given for the actual physical trait of a person?
Phenotype
Is the set of all common factors of two given natural numbers infinite?
No.
The physical appearance of the entire set of chromosomes of a given animal?
The physical appearance of the entire set of chromosomes of a given animal is a phenotype. A phenotype is a trait that you can observe like the color of a persons eyes.
What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual exhibit the dominant phenotype?
Given those conditions, the offspring have a 50% chance of demonstrating the dominant phenotype and a 50% chance of demonstrating the recessive phenotype.
What is the function of phenotype?
Phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism (physical appearances and behaviors). We use the phenotype, with dominant are recessive genes of an organism in punnet squares to attempt to determine the phenotype of an offspring. A phenotype is also useful in describing qualitative measurements of an experiment
Which term is given to the measure of the proportion of offspring that a particular phenotype will contribute to the next generation?
Progeny
What is the top name for a human?
There is no clear consensus of the most common given name, but the top two contenders would be Wěi 伟 (top Chinese given name - 1.35 billion population) and Mohammed (top Islamic given name - 1.7 billion population).
What is the population of Given Imaging?
Given Imaging's population is 800.
Why does natural selection act on phenotype rather than genotype of an organism?
This seems to be an odd question to ask... Unless I'm mistaken, the phenotype of a given organism is governed by its genotype, and changed a fair amount by the organism's environment. Consider the following circumstances: Organism A has a long set of arms, and has a "long arm" allele. Organism B has short arms and a "short arm" allele. For example, A's genotype has the "long arm" allele, and seen in its phenotype it has long arms. The converse is true for B. Judging by your usage of technical terms in your question, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that A will out-compete B, assuming they are in a food-is-up-high environment. So, A will end up with more offspring than B, again assuming that A and B are members of different species. Eventually organism A will become prevalent, and natural selection will have caused there to be more organisms with the "long arms" phenotype, and the "long arm" allele in their genotype. In summation, Genotype governs Phenotype, and the best geno- and phenotypes will be chosen by natural selection. By an organism having a superior phenotype, it also has a superior genotype.
