To put this answer as simply as possible, an organism's genotype can change due to either a random mutation in the DNA/chromosomes or the insertion of DNA from one organism into the DNA of another organism.

What are two ways an organisms joina population and two ways organisms leave a population?
12456
What are organisms with the genotype tt is also know as?
two capital or two lowercase letters in the GENOTYPE (ex: TT or tt) it's also called HOMOZYGOUS.
When genetics refer to the physical characteristics of an organism they are talking about its what?
Phenotype. The physical expressed characteristics of an organisms genotype is known as its phenotype. Two organisms may have the same phenotype, but different genotype depending on the dominate or recessive genes present. Just remember physical=pheno.
What are two ways that energy is passed between organisms?
Biosphere
What are two ways organisms are connected to the nonliving environment?
because the organisms eat the dead / nonliving environment

Can two organisms have the same phenotype and a different genotype?
Yes,if one has two dominant alleles and other has a dominant and a recessive allele
Can two organisms have the same genotype?
Yes.If* two or more organisms are formed from the same original cell, and* all divisions of that cell are by mitosis, and * there is no mutation, then the organisms will be genetically identical (= have the same genotype).Some examples:* human identical (monozygotic) twins * individuals of Hydra, a freshwater coelenterate, formed by budding * plants formed by vegetative propagation, such as budding (e.g. fruit trees in horticulture) and forming stolons (e.g. strawberries naturally)

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 are two ways orginisims use nutrients from food?
What are the two ways organisms use nutrients from food?
What are two ways some organisms can escape from unfavorable environmental conditions?
Two ways that some organisms can escape from unfavorable environmental conditions would be to move or migrate or to hibernate. Some organisms can even adapt.
What are two ways organisms are connected to the nonliving?
because the organisms eat the dead / nonliving environment
What are the two ways that energy stored in dead organisms is used?
Energy stored from dead organisms can be used in two ways. They can either be eaten by other organisms or decomposed by bacteria with the nutrients absorbed in the soil to be used by plants.
What are two ways that energy is passed between organisms?
