What is a description for phenotype and example?
The phenotype is a physical characteristic that is expressed by the genes. ----- An example of a phenotype is human blood group.
Is phenotype another name for allele?
Yes and no. Allele is a variation of a specific gene while phenotype can refer to variation of multiple genes or even the entire genome.
Determines an organisms phenotype?
genes and environment
How does eye color pass to the young?
It is because of an inherited phenotype, a phenotype is the outward expression of genes. the source of the inherited phenotype is dependent upon whether mother or fathers genotype is consisting of dominant or recessive allele i.e a dominant allele if pair with a recessive will be the one inherited. Check the site out in the related links below for an Eye Colour Inheritance Chart.
What is the difference between epistasis and codominance?
Well, one major difference is, homeostasis (the regulation of stable conditions in the internal environment) is a property of a system (or organism), while epistasis and pleiotropy are properties of genes. However, certain kinds of homeostasis can be controlled by genes (think of the lacoperon). There is a kind of homeostasis, genetic homeostasis, but that is a property of populations, and probably not what you had in mind. Epistasis is the interaction of two or more genes; therefore it is a property of multiple genes. This distinguishes it from pleiotropy,which is a property of a single gene, since a gene is pleiotropic if it effects multiple phenotypes.

How are multiple alleles different from polygenic traits?
Multiple alleles are genes that have more than two alleles. An example of this would be blood types, with ABO as three separate alleles.Polygenic traits are traits whose phenotype rely on alleles from different genes. An example of this would be hair type, which relies on genes from different parts of chromosomes.The main difference is that multiple alleles are genes with 3 or more alleles; polygenic traits do not necessarily have more alleles, but they rely on on multiple genes.
What determins phenotype?
the genotypeThe genotype (genes) of an organism determines its phenotype (what it looks and acts like). The phenotype can also be slightly influenced by the organism's environment. For example, if a human inherits genes to be taller than average, but has poor nutrition as a child, he won't be as tall as his genes had coded.
Is phenotype another name for allele?
Yes and no. Allele is a variation of a specific gene while phenotype can refer to variation of multiple genes or even the entire genome.
What we call the observable expression of genes present in an organism?
When genes are expressed, the result is called phenotype. What is actually in all the genes (some are recessive) is called the genotype.
What carries genes that determinethe sex of offspring?
2 sex chromosomes in male-xx in female-xy
How do you use genotype and phenotype in a sentence?
In genetics,the phenotype is when genes combine to determine dominant traits
What are examples of a genotype and a phenotype?
Genotype relates to the genetic makeup of an individual, and refers to all the genes on your chromosomes, whereas phenotype refers to the physical attributes that exist as a result of the genotype. Taking eye colour as an example, your phenotype will be brown eyes, and your genotype will be the two genes (one from the sperm and one from the egg). Only one of these two genes (the dominant one) will contribute toward your phenotype.
What is a physical expression of genes?
A physical expression of genes is what is known as a phenotype. A phenotype gives the appearances of organisms based on how it's gene are expressed and put together in a functioning form.
How are Genotype phenotype alike?
Genotype is the specific combination of genes that contribute to a trait that an organism has. (For example, the genes for being tall).Phenotype is the expression of the trait which is partially influenced due to the genotype and partly by the environment (Even if you have the genes for being tall, if you are malnourished you will not grow as tall).
What is the difference between a karyotype and a phenotype?
The phenotype is what you will see when genes are expressed in an organism. Karyotype is all the genes in an organisms DNA.
How do genes make a phenotype?
They are expressed.
