What else can I help you with?
Is brown hair color a genotype?
No it's a phenotype because it says the physical characteristic if it was like Bb for example it would be the genotype. (I just made Bb up, that's not actually the genotype for brown hair color!)
Compare and contrast genotype and phenotype?
An organism's genotype is its genetic identity. The genotype is comprised of all the genetic material inherited from both parents. The genotype is what "tells" each individual cell how to function. The phenotype is the physical expression of an organism's genotype. For example, if a person's genotype for eye color is one dominant allele for brown and one recessive for blue, then the individual's phenotype would be their actual eye color which in this case would be brown.
What genotype results in the same phenotype?
A phenotype is the actual result that you can actually see, whereas the genotype is the allele or gene that causes the phenotype. Lets say that brown hair is dominant and which is caused by an allele that we'll represent with B, and lets say that red hair is cause by a recessive allele that we'll represent with b. A genotype is represented by a combination of 2 of these alleles. So we have BB, Bb and bb as our possible genotypes of the child. One of the alleles is from the mom and the other from the dad. BB means that both of the parents have brown hair, which means the offspring will have brown hair, and since both parents have brown hair and brown is dominant, we call the offspring homozygous dominant for that genotype. Homozygous means the same. Bb means that on parent has brown hair and the other has red hair or at least carries the red hair trait. This offspring will have brown hair because B is dominant over b. We call this heterozygous dominant. Heterozygous means different. Last we have the bb. this means that either both parents have red hair or both have the traits for red hair. This offspring will have red hair because they do not have any dominant genes. This is called homozygous recessive. Now this is just an example. hair color is gets much more complicated then this but that's the basic idea for all genotypes and phenotypes. I hope this helps at least some.
Why can a person with brown eyes carry blue eye alleles but a person with blue eyes cannot have a brown eye allele in their genotype?
A person with brown eyes can carry the blue eye allele because brown is a dominant trait, so they can have both blue and brown alleles in their genotype. However, a person with blue eyes cannot have a brown eye allele because blue eyes are a recessive trait, meaning they must have two copies of the blue allele in their genotype to express the trait.
Can both brown eyed parents have 2 brown eye children and one child with green eyes?
It really depends on genetics down the parents line. Brown pigmentation on the eyes is a dominant allele on the gene and where 2 brown eyed parents reproduce, there is a high chance that all children will have brown eyes. However, if both parents carry a gene for blue eyes, which is recessive, there is a chance that both genes will meet and create off spring with blue eyes. This is known in laymans terms as a 'throw back', i.e. some one on either genetic line has had blue eyes. So yes, it is possible for parents with brown eyes to have 2 children with blue eyes and one with brown.
If mother has brown eyes and father has blue eyes what will daughter have although father has three other children all with blue eyes?
Since is not known what the mother's genotype is (BB or Bb) or whether she carries the gene for blue eyes it is not possible to know.
What is the genotype of the parent guinea pigs if they give birth to a brown guinea pig if the parents are white?
i have no idea what you are talking about!
If you crossed a homozygous dominant man with brown eyes with a homozygous recessive woman with blue eyes what color or colors would their children have?
I don't know what your scientific terms mean, but I can tell you that I am a blue eyed female (my father was brown eyed/my mother had hazel eyes). The father of my two children is brown eyed. Both of my children have blue eyes.
If a brown eyed woman has a green eyed mother what is the brown eyed woman's genotype?
The mother's genotype is rr. The daughter would inherit one recessive allele from her mother because her mother has only recessive alleles. Because the daughter is green eyed, she would inherit a dominant allele from her father. The brown-eyed daughter's genotype would be Rr.
Who are Langston brown's parents?
His paternal father was a store keeper. His mother was a school teacher and wrote poetry. His step father worked in the steel mills.
What is the genotype if a brown eyed persons mother was color blind and his father had blue eyes who's engaged to a person who's color blind whos father is normal vision?
The brown-eyed person likely has the genotype Bb for eye color, where B represents the brown allele and b represents the blue allele. Since the mother is colorblind (XbXb), she contributes an X chromosome with the colorblind allele. The father with blue eyes (bb) does not affect the X-linked colorblind trait. The engaged partner, being colorblind with a normal-vision father (XbY), would also have the genotype XbXb.
What is the genotype for a brown eyed homozygote?
The genotype for a brown-eyed homozygote would be BB, where each allele represents the gene for brown eye color.
What is Marie van brittan brown parents name?
whats is marie van brittan brown parents mane,spouse,children
Why do children have characteristics of both their mother and father?
Children have similar characteristic's to their parents because when they are conceived, both of the parents genes unify to create a new set of characteristic'd depending on dominant and recessive traits. For example, Jane and Henry find out they are having a baby. Jane has homozygous blue eyes whilst Henry has heterozygous brown eyes. The chances are that their baby will either have 50% homozygous blue eyes or 50% heterozygous brown eyes.
What can a genotype tell?
A genotype can tell what genes you have in your chromosomes. Genotypes really means what are all your genes and phenotype is what you see. You may have brown eyes. Your genotype might show that you have brown and blue genes for eye color but you see only brown.
Could two blue-eyed parents have a brown-eyed child?
GeneticsYes, it's possible for a pair of blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed offspring. It all depends on each parent's genotype, and which trait comes from the dominant or recessive allele.
How does genotype affect phenotypes?
They are related to each other because...Genes and alleles are the traits inside an object, when using a punnet square, we take the genotype out of that object to make experiments.
