One organism is heterozygosis, the other is homozygous.

One organism is heterozygosis, the other is homozygous.

∙ 13y agoOne 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....

How can you have the same phenotype but a different genotype for a trait?
well GG and Gg both produce the same phenotype for a trait GG and Gg are both different kinds of genotypes that make the same phenotype
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 are organisms called that have the same physical characteristics?
They have the same phenotype.
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.
What are variations in terms of evolution?
Normally variations might be differences in genotype between individuals. However, in evolution, the genotype isn't important; rather, the phenotype is what interacts with the environment. In other words, two organisms can have different genotypes (seeming variation), but be equally fit to survive because their phenotypes are the same. Therefore, variation in an evolutionary sense would be differences in phenotype, the outward appearance or function of a trait.
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.
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.
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.
Can you have the same genotype but different phenotype?
yes
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 different genotypes but the same phenotype?

Homozygotes for the dominant allele and heterozygotes will both have the same phenotype.Organisms have the same phenotype, or physical characteristics.

How do you determine a phenotype when the genotype is different but the phenotype is the same?
You look at the offspring. Offspring of a heterogenous match are going to have different phenotype percentages than those of a homogenous match.
How can you have the same phenotype but different genotype?
Different genotypes don't always change your phenotypes because of mutations
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 was the genotype of the offspring that did not share the parent's phenotype?
The genotype of the offspring that had the same phenotype as the parents is rr or wrinkled. The phenotype for the seed shape of both parent plants is round.
Are phenotype and genotype traits the same?
Phenotype and genotype traits don't always have to be the same. Phenotype is the physical characteristics and genotype is the genetic makeup. For example a pea plant can have the genotype of TT and look tall while another plant can have a genotype of Tt and also look tall (T= dominant trait; t= recessive trait.)
