What is a organism's phenotype?

Answer 1

A phenotype is how genes manifest themselves - the characteristics you end up having. - So if you have one gene that gives you blue eyes and one gene that gives you brown eyes (if the browneye gene is dominant) the phenotype of your eyes will be brown.

Answer 2

An organism's phenotype is its observable physical and biochemical traits, such as size, shape, color, or behavior. These traits result from the interaction between the organism's genetic makeup (genotype) and its environment.

Answer 3

The phenotype of an organism is the physical expression of genes. This contrasts withe the genotype which refers to the specific gene combination.

Example:

If H and h represent variations for hair length in dogs...

Genotype is HH, and the phenotype is long hair.

Answer 4

The phenotype refers to the physical characteristic in question (ie brown hair, tall, green eyes, etc). The genotype, however, is the the actual sequence of genesis the DNA

Answer 5

The phenotype of an organism is the physical manifestation of a trait. It is determined by the genotype which is the genetic code of an organism.

Answer 6

The phenotype of an organism is their physical appearance due to certain alleles.

Answer 7

The phenotype is the physical result of gene expression. This is different from genotype; genotype is the pertains to the actual alleles, and doesn't have to do with physical results.

Answer 8

Phenotype means what an organism looks like. So what do you and humans look like? Dogs, cats, rats, or trees?

Answer 9

The characteristics it obtains from its' phenotype (genetic material; DNA)

For Example:

AA (Genotype) codes for long hair (phenotype).
