A phenotype (from Greek phainein to 'show' + typos 'type') is an organism's observable characteristics or traits: such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, behavior, and products of behavior (such as a bird's nest). Simple examples include hair color, eye color, height, pelt color.

Distinguish between parental and recombinant phenotypes?
Parental Phenotypes are when the offspring of two parents look like one of the two parents. for example, if a green wrinkled pea is crossed with a heterozygous yellow round pea the offspring are 1/4 yellow round, 1/4 green wrinkled, 1/4 yellow wrinkled, and 1/4 green round. the yellow round and green wrinkled look like the parents so they have parental phenotypes, whereas the yellow wrinkled and the green round have combinations of the parental phenotypes thus they have recombinant phenotypes.
What are non-examples of phenotypes?
Non-examples of phenotypes would include things like DNA sequences, genotypes, or gene variants. Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment. They are not the underlying genetic information itself.
Which can you physically see genotypes or phenotypes?
You can see the phenotype. A good way to remember is that a photograph is what you see. The genotype is the graphic representation of the trait.
How can the diagram be used to identify the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring?
The diagram can be used to predict the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring by following the inheritance patterns of the parents' traits. By analyzing the alleles passed down from each parent, one can determine the possible combinations of genotypes and corresponding phenotypes that the offspring may inherit.
Is it true or false that a natural selection acts on phenotypes not genotypes?
It doesn't. Phenotypes are viable or not in a given environment, and this influences whether the corresponding genotypes get passed on. Selection works on genotypes via the effects of their expression, their phenotype. The answer you may be looking for is that phenotypes maladapted to their environment have less babies, and pass on less copies of their genes. "Natural selection" is the whole process over generations. "Selection" may refer to misadapted bodies/phenotypes reproducing less due to illness, hunger, bad quality territories, dying earlier, etc.

How many phenotypes does the trait have?
Aa AA aa If A dominant, two phenotypes.

What is the definition of a discrete trait?
A discrete trait is a trait which doesn't have a range of phenotypes. For example, tongue rolling is a discrete trait as an individual can either roll their tongue or not roll their tongue. There is no phenotype between these two phenotypes.
What is the term that refers to the fact that the same genotype can be associated with many different phenotypes?
Genetic Recombination, for but one example. A Gene, with It's precisely packaged Information is, as it turns out, open to biochemically controlled Interpretation [phenotypes]!
What phenotypes are present in F1 generation?
The phenotypes present in the F1 generation depend on the phenotypes of the parental generation (and the environment). The F1 generation will display the dominant trait(s). For example, if T is tall and t is short, in the cross TT X tt the F1 generation will have the phenotype corresponding to the T allele (tall).
Why isn't it possible to have more genotypes than phenotypes?
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
What is different in phenotypes of an individual from those in the same species?
Phenotypes are the characteristics of the genes that are most dominant, and can represent themselves. Species have many different genes for example, you dont have the exact same genes as your best friend, and thus, producing different phenotypes which is why you look different... However, you do have may similar genes that make you part of that species.
What does phenotypical mean?
The trait of an organism. For example, small ears, long arms, and brown eyes are all phenotypes.
When two extreme phenotypes are selected in natural selection the intermediate phenotypes become?
The intermediate phenotypes tend to be selected against, resulting in stabilizing selection that favors the extreme phenotypes. This can lead to a reduction in genetic variation within the population, as individuals with intermediate traits are less likely to survive and reproduce.
