Phenotype is the displayed characteristics of the organism, as opposed to the genotype, which is the gene sequence of the organism. Phenotype is important because it includes everything that the organism can do. Whether a plant is pink or red, an example of phenotype, can influence whether or not a bee will be attracted and pollenate it. The presence of cystic fibrosis, a debilitating disorder in humans, is caused by genotype but expressed through phenotype, and can be the difference between death at twenty or a long life to eighty.
Neither are more important; they are just different genetic descriptions of organisms.
they are important because i do not know the answer ya so sorry so sorry i couldn't be anymore of a help bye
natural selection is a passive prosess . the mechanism of some individuals to be selected more than others is because they fit their environment more. and phenotype shows the fitness .
As an element of the planet, fire is more important than cars.
some rules are more important because they are more serious like murdering someone is more serious then telling a lie to your parents.
It isn't literature is more important than science because without literature science is virtually impossible!
without life, there wouldn't be honor.

true That is wrong. The correct answer is False
the answer is True. Im a nursing major. Labarron
They can result in more than one phenotype.
You look at the offspring. Offspring of a heterogenous match are going to have different phenotype percentages than those of a homogenous match.
Phenotype is the way a specific trait is displayed by the organism. Genotype is all the genetic information present at the gene locus on the chromosome pair. If the phenotype is recessive the genotype will be designated by two lower case letters. Ex. aa is black If the phenotype is dominant the genotype could be designatedtwo upper case letters or one upper case and one lower case letter. Ex. Aa or AA is red.
Because peoples appearances changes as their body changes.
Yes. the phenotype is the visible manifestation of a genotype. In the example of fruit flies, if red eyes are dominant and white eyes recessive, than the genotypes "AA" and "Aa" will give a dominant phenotype of red eyes. Conversely, a recessive "aa" will give a phenotype of white eyes.
This seems to be an odd question to ask... Unless I'm mistaken, the phenotype of a given organism is governed by its genotype, and changed a fair amount by the organism's environment. Consider the following circumstances: Organism A has a long set of arms, and has a "long arm" allele. Organism B has short arms and a "short arm" allele. For example, A's genotype has the "long arm" allele, and seen in its phenotype it has long arms. The converse is true for B. Judging by your usage of technical terms in your question, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that A will out-compete B, assuming they are in a food-is-up-high environment. So, A will end up with more offspring than B, again assuming that A and B are members of different species. Eventually organism A will become prevalent, and natural selection will have caused there to be more organisms with the "long arms" phenotype, and the "long arm" allele in their genotype. In summation, Genotype governs Phenotype, and the best geno- and phenotypes will be chosen by natural selection. By an organism having a superior phenotype, it also has a superior genotype.
This is backward, natural selection works on genotype not phenotype.
When a heterozygous genotype (two different alleles) results in an intermediate phenotype, this is either codominance or incomplete dominance. If it is codominance, then both alleles are expressed together in the phenotype. If it is incomplete dominance, the two alleles produce a blended phenotype rather than both alleles being expressed together.
the phenotype is what you see like for example DD is the genotype and homozygous dominant is the phenotype. Another example is phenotype Heterozygous round eyes or in genetic form Rr. Phenotype means what you see and Genotype is the gene. I hope this answers your question
