What else can I help you with?
Is combinations of alleles known as a genotype?
Yes, a combination of alleles that an individual has for a particular gene is known as their genotype. This genetic code determines the traits and characteristics of an individual, based on the expression of those alleles.
What is the man's genotype?
The man's genotype is CcFf. The woman's genotype is CcFf. These genotypes only apply if curly hair is dominant to straight hair. Freckles is dominant to no freckles. Also if a man who is heterozygous for both curly hair and freckles who then marries a woman with the same genotype.
What is the difference between a genotype and a phenotype?
Phenotype, This is the "outward, physical manifestation" of the organism Genotype, This is the "internally coded, inheritable information"
Can you determine a persons genotype based on phenotype?
In some cases but not others. Certain alleles can be dominant, which means that they will dictate the phenotype should there be a clash of alleles in the genotype. Other alleles can be recessive, which means you'd need both of these alleles in these genotype in order for it to dictate the phenotype. This means that if a person's phenotype represents a dominant trait, we cannot be certain what their genotype is. If, however, it represents a recessive trait, we know that their genotype must be the recessive allele twice.
On this pair of chromosomes, what alleles are linked?
On this pair of chromosomes, the linked alleles are those that are physically close together and tend to be inherited together.
Is combinations of alleles known as a genotype?
Yes, a combination of alleles that an individual has for a particular gene is known as their genotype. This genetic code determines the traits and characteristics of an individual, based on the expression of those alleles.
Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?
No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.
What is a genotype composed of?
Genotype is the genetic make up of an organism both expressed (phenotype) and unexpressed.Example: AaeeDndn is the genotype which includes unexpressed (recessive) alleles a and dn.Expressed dominant traits A and Dn as well as expressed recessive traits (ee). Note that expressed recessive traits have to be homozygous.
What is the man's genotype?
The man's genotype is CcFf. The woman's genotype is CcFf. These genotypes only apply if curly hair is dominant to straight hair. Freckles is dominant to no freckles. Also if a man who is heterozygous for both curly hair and freckles who then marries a woman with the same genotype.
Does a phenotype refer to the recessive alleles of an individual?
No, a phenotype refers to the observable traits or characteristics of an individual, which result from the interaction of its genotype (the genetic makeup, including both dominant and recessive alleles) with the environment. Recessive alleles can influence phenotype, but they do so only when two copies are present, as their effects are masked by dominant alleles. Therefore, a phenotype encompasses all expressed traits, not just those linked to recessive alleles.
What is used to figure out what genotype and phenotype will be?
Hey! I'm working on a science project just like that in school right now, and the Genotype is what it's identity is , sort of , like NN or Ll or something and Phenotype is what color it is or what it looks like.
How do you identify a homozygous ressive genotype?
A homozygous recessive genotype can be identified when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele for a particular gene. This means that both alleles for that gene are the same and are both the recessive form. This genotype will typically show the recessive trait associated with that allele.

When two different alleles appear on one gene but one of those alleles appears in the phenotype?
complete dominace
True or false even though a gene has multiple alleles a person can carry only two of those alleles?
True
When two different alleles appear on on gene but only one of those alleles appears in the phenotype is demonstrated?
complete dominance
