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)

∙ 14y agoYes and no, it depends whether they are the same species or not, if they are then they have the same genotype, but if they're differnet species then they have different genotypes

∙ 11y agoThat wouldn't be very likely. It is not possible for two organisms to have the exact same genotype.

An organisms genotype is?
genotype is an organisms genetic makeup
What describes organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait that always produce offspring of the same phenotype?
Yes, homozygous with homozygous (both the same genotype) will produce homozygous of the same genotype
What is An organisms allele pairs?
Genotype
Why do identical twins have the same genotype?
Identical twins have the same genotype because they have the exact same genes. Identical twins are formed when one fertilized egg (zygote) splits in two and each of the now two zygotes each develop into different beings. Identical twins are therefore referred to as monozyygotic twins and they have the same DNA.
Which statement describes how two organisms may show the same trait yet have different genotypes for that phenotype?
Organisms that share genotypes share the same alleles, whereas organisms that share phenotypes share expressed traits. Sometimes multiple genes code for the same phenotype, and the classical study used to illustrate this (or at least one of them) is on Mendel's experiments on plants.Simply put, Mendel's work helped demonstrate how dominant and recessive alleles affect phenotype. When an allele is completely dominant, an organism will display the dominant phenotype whether or not it has one or two dominant alleles (assuming the alleles share the same locus). So for instance two different pea plants (this example is made up to display the concept) may have two different genotypes, one with two dominant alleles and one with a single dominant and single recessive allele; these organisms have different genotypes. However, because the dominant allele is completely dominant, both would organisms would express the same phenotype.A perhaps more eloquent explanation of the above example exists at the Mendelian inheritance article on Wikipedia.
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 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.
An organisms genotype is?
genotype is an organisms genetic makeup
What is a Biotype?
A biotype is a group of organisms sharing the same specific genotype.
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.
How can organisms have the same DNA but look and act differently?
Although organisms with the same physical characteristics have the same PHENOTYPE, they might have different GENOTYPE, or genetic makeup.
What is an organisms combination of inherited alleles?
genotype
What describes organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait that always produce offspring of the same phenotype?
Yes, homozygous with homozygous (both the same genotype) will produce homozygous of the same genotype
How do you identify a homozygous ressive genotype?
See if the parent organisms have the same trait as the offspring. Those traits have to be recessive.
What is an organisms way its genotype is expressed?
Phenotype
What is An organisms allele pairs?
Genotype
Can you accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype?
No, genotype actually determines phenotype.
