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.

∙ 13y agoYour genotype determines your phenotype. Your genotype is the genetic makeup you have for a certain trait, for example, eye color, and your phenotype is the physical outcome of that gene. Say brown is dominant and blue is recessive, and your genotype for eye color is heterozygous brown, or Bb. You will have brown eyes because brown is dominant.
However, someone with the genotype BB will also have brown eyes, but their genotype was different.

How are phenotypes and genotypes related to natural selection?
Natural selection favours phenotypes that bestow a reproductive advantage, thereby increasing the frequency of alleles (genotype) producing those phenotypes.
How differences in genotypes cause variations in phenotypes?
Phenotypes are the traits expressed by the genotype. So, for blood type, a person can have A and i alleles (genotype). However, in the phenotype, since i is recessive, only the A will be expressed, and the person will have an A blood type.
What genotype must the person have who possessed the recessive phenotypes?
The genotype is homozygous recessive or the recessive trait is on the X chromosome and has no corresponding allele on the Y chromosome.
When trying to find an unknown genotype you must perform a?
Perform a test cross. Cross the organism with an organism with a homozygous recessive genotype and use the phenotypes of the offspring and a Punnett square to figure out the unknown genotype.
AAA AAA what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes os their children?
Possible genotypes would be AA and Aa. Phenotypes cannot be determined here because they are the physical, observable results of a genotype.
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.
What is the probability of genotypes and phenotypes?
What is the probability that any of the offspring between individuals with the genotype AABbCcddEE will have the genotype AABBCCddEE
Did mankind affected sugar gliders genotype or phenotypes?
nope
How are the genotype and phenotype of parents related to the genotype and phenotypes of offsprings?
The parents can pass on only the alleles of their genotypes to their offspring. Therefore, the offspring genotypes and phenotypes are dependent solely upon the alleles inherited from the parents.

How many different phenotypes can be produced from intercrossing parents of genotype AaB1B2?
two

The genotype is homozygous recessive or the recessive trait is on the X chromosome and has no corresponding allele on the Y chromosome.

If you cross a while flower with the genotype pp with a purple flower with the genotype pp the possible genotypes in the offspring will be what for the cross what would the phenotypes be?
half white and half purple
How can you have the same phenotype but different genotype?
Different genotypes don't always change your phenotypes because of mutations
