An organisms genotype is?

An organism's genotype refers to the specific set of genes it carries in its DNA. It is the genetic blueprint that determines the organism's characteristics and traits. A genotype is unique to each individual and can influence how traits are expressed.


What is an example of a haploid genotype in organisms?

An example of a haploid genotype in organisms is the gametes, such as sperm and egg cells, which contain only one set of chromosomes.


Can two organisms have the same genotype?

Yes.If* two or more organisms are formed from the same original cell, and* all divisions of that cell are by mitosis, and * there is no mutation, then the organisms will be genetically identical (= have the same genotype).Some examples:* human identical (monozygotic) twins * individuals of Hydra, a freshwater coelenterate, formed by budding * plants formed by vegetative propagation, such as budding (e.g. fruit trees in horticulture) and forming stolons (e.g. strawberries naturally)


What is an organisms way to express its genotype?

No, the genotype is the genetic composition of the organism. On the other hand, the phenotype is the physical composition of the organism. For example, a gene that causes a bird's feathers to be black in color is the genotype and the phenotype is the actual observable of the black feathers.


What describes organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait that always produce offspring of the same phenotype?

Organisms or genotypes that are homozygous for a specific trait and always produce offspring of the same phenotype are said to be true breeding. This means that when bred with another organism of the same genotype for that trait, all offspring will display the same characteristic.
