Is DNA the same as genes?
<yes but genetics is just the plural> Not really. 'Genetic' is an adjective, while 'genetics' is a noun referring to (loosely) the study and/or techniques of matters involving genes. In this sense, the term 'genetics' functions like 'mathematics' - a mass noun that encompasses a broad spectrum of disciplines and endeavors involving a common focus (genes or numbers).
Can two organisms have different genotypes but the same phenotype?
One way is if an allele for the gene in question is dominant. Homozygotes for the dominant allele and heterozygotes will both have the same phenotype.Organisms have the same phenotype, or physical characteristics. They do not, however, have the same genotype, or genetic makeup. If T represent tall, and t represnts short then the organism will have the genotypes TT and Tt. If you make a Punnett square you will have the same phenotype but different genotypes. Unless some weird mutation occurs....
Why would evolution crease if the entire population had the same genetic makeup?
Yes. Without variation in organisms for natural selection to choose from there would be no change in allele frequency over time in the population of organisms under discussion. This is the definition of evolution, so without change over time, no evolution.
What is the outward appearance of a trait called?
phenotypeThe physical appearance of a trait is called a phenotype, not to be confused with a genotype( which is your genetic makeup) The way I remember is phenotype and physical both start with a p, and genotype and genetic both start with a g.
What genotypes is heterozygous?
A heterozygous genotype, is the genetic makeup of different alleles.
Are the genetic makeup the same for first cousins and siblings?
No. Except for identical twins, the genetic makeup of each person is different. However, the more closely related you are to someone, the more similar your genetic makeup. So the genetics of siblings is more similar than of first cousins.
