What else can I help you with?
Can you accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype?
No, genotype actually determines phenotype.
Is phenotype determine genotype false?
Yes, this is false. It's genotype that determines phenotype. e.g. If you have the dominant gene for brown eyes and the recessive gene for blue eyes (genotype) you will have brown eyes (phenotype)
When can you accurately determine a person's genotype from their phenotype?
Yes you can accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype, however some phenotypic traits resulting from homozygous or heterozygous combinations of alleles, may make the prediction impossible.
What are an individual's observable traits called?
genotype or phenotype
Why is it sometimes impossible to determine the genotype of an organism that has a dominant phenotype?
it is impossible because the phenotype and genotype are different this is out of chapter 10 in the biology book on page 336
How do you use genotype and phenotype in a sentence?
The genotype of an organism refers to its genetic makeup, while its phenotype relates to its observable traits. For example, a plant with the genotype for tall height may exhibit a phenotype of actually being tall in stature.
How do you get the genotype of the phenotype?
It isn't possible to find a phenotype. This is because the phenotype is the expression of the genotype. The genotype contains the genetic information for the phenotype, but does not show any physical information. The phenotype expresses the genotype in a physical and physiological way, so that what you actually see, is the phenotype. Take blood type for example: Genotypically it is just the genetic code of AGCTCTAGTCC (lets say), but Phenotypically it is Type A In short, the phenotype is what you see and the genotype is coding for it.
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
Would the length of a forearm be genotype or phenotype?
The length of a forearm would be more of a phenotype, as it is a physical characteristic that can be observed and measured. Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an individual, which may influence the phenotype but doesn't directly determine the length of a specific body part.
How do you determine a phenotype when the genotype is different but the phenotype is the same?
You look at the offspring. Offspring of a heterogenous match are going to have different phenotype percentages than those of a homogenous match.
The Phenotype determines genotype?
Phenotype does not determine genotype. Actually a genotype includes an organisms entire hereditary information. A phenotype is simply the organisms actual observed properties including appearance, development and behavior.
How phenotype and genotype relate?
Genotype and phenotype are to words that are not related. Genotype refers to classification by comparing genetics. Phenotype refers to classification according to the appearance of an organism.
