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 is a trait expressed when two different genes for the same trait present?
If the two different genes include one dominant allele and one recessive allele, which is the heterozygous genotype, the dominant phenotype is expressed. For example, if R represents the red flower allele and r represents the white flower allele, the flowers would be red. If the trait is governed by incomplete dominance, then the heterozygous genotype (Rr) will produce an intermediate phenotype, such as pink.
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 distinguish between genotype and phenotype heterozygous and homozygous and dominant and recessive?
Genotype is the organism's full heredity information that may or may not be expressed. Actual observed properties are the phenotype. The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. Genes are homozygous when the same allele (form of the gene) inherited from both parents is the same. When different forms of the same gene are inherited from parents, they are heterozygous. Dominance refers to the relation between alleles of a gene. When two alleles of a gene combine, the dominant one then determines the trait that is expressed. In order for a recessive trait to be expressed, both alleles need to be recessive.
What is the name for each gene in a pair of genes that might or might not carry the same info about a trait?
the name is hybrids
How are genotype and 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).
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.)
How is possible for two individuals to have the same phenotype but different genotype for a trait?
it is possible beccause you dont always need both
How its possible two individuals to have to the same phenotype but different genotype for a trait?
it is possible beccause you dont always need both
Can you have the same genotype but different phenotype?
yes

What phenotype is produced byBB?
The phenotype is the physical/observable trait of the animal - therefore the phenotype of this rabbit is black fur.The genotype, Bb, makes this rabbit heterozygous.
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 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.
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 you have the same phenotype but different genotype?
Different genotypes don't always change your phenotypes because of mutations
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....
