Yes it is possible, not every gene present in an organism is expressed in the phenotype. example some genes code for a plant to be able to reproduce, a plant which has that gene knocked out does not necessarily mean that it would look any different from its wild type. The plant just wont be able to reproduce. H. Williams 2014.

Which term describes inherited traits are visible?

The term that describes inherited traits that are visible would be the organisms phenotype. The genotype would be the genes that make the traits.

What are general Phenotypic characteristic features of a knockout mice other than the specific gene knockout or how can we conclude a mice is knockout mice without any molecular biology techniques?

In simple words, you can not conclude without molecular data. You may sometimes see a visible phenotype such as change in color of eyes, skin or growth or any such things for some genotype. but this doesn't validate that the gene knock out actually happened in both allele.


Is hair a type genotype or a phenotype?

A phenotype. Phenotypes are observable, physical traits. Genotypes have to do with the genetic coding. Since hair type is visible, it is a phenotype.


What is the visible trait an offspring exhibits called?

The visible trait an offspring exhibits is called the phenotype.


What is the visible product of gene and the environments influences?

The visible product of gene and environment influences is known as the phenotype. The phenotype is the physical and behavioral characteristics of an organism that result from the interaction between its genetic makeup and the environment in which it develops.


What is the physical appearance of trait?

The visible or detectable trait is known as the phenotype.


Can you see all genetic variation?

No. Genotype is the combination of genes present in an organism. It consists of alleles whose visible characteristics is called phenotype. An organism's phenotype is visible and not the genotype as you just can't see a person and tell what kind of genes are present in the organism.


What might the phenotypes be of two organisms that were found to have different genotypes but the same phenotype?

Phenotypes refer to the visible traits (or characteristics). Genotypes are the underlying causes for those traits. There may be different genotypes that cause the same phenotype. If the observable traits from one individual are the same from another individual, one can say they have the same phenotypes.


Are all phenotypic expression visible?

Phenotypes are observable, but this does not necessarily mean 'visible'. For example, biochemical properties and behaviour are both part of phenotype. A phenotype may involve producing a certain protein, but you cannot 'see' the protein (you might be able to do a test to find it).


What refers to an organism's appearance or visible characteristics?

The term "phenotype" refers to an organism's appearance or visible characteristics that result from the interaction of its genotype (genetic makeup) and environmental influences.
