Your phenotype is a characteristic of how you look, for example if you have brown or blue eyes. You inherit one allele for each characteristic you have from you mom and dad.
Say your mom gives you a blue eyes allele and your dad gives you a brown eyes allele. Since brown eyes usually dominate over blue eyes, you would most likely be heterozygous for brown eye color, and you would have brown eyes. This would be represented by Bb, the B standing for brown eye color, the dominant trait, and the b standing for blue eye color, in this case the recessive trait.
So, depending on what alleles you receive from your parents, you may look different than, for example, than your siblings do because they got a different set of alleles. This is possible because your parents both have 2 alleles, but they only give you one of each, so if both your parents give, for example, your sister a blue eye allele, she will most likely have blue eyes, even if you have brown.
What else can I help you with?
What genotype is produced by the phenotype B?
Genotypes are not created by phenotypes, they are the alleles/genes of the organism. Genotypes (in combination with environment) produce phenotypes. It would be expected that the genotypes Bb and BB would produce the phenotype B.
In humans the alleles for hemophilia h is recessive. Which phenotype is displayed in an individual with the genotype XhY?
Genes that come together with different alleles are called _____.
How many different traits can these alleles produce?
A single pair of alleles would produce only one phenotype.
What is the organisms combination of alleles called?
The genes an organism contains is called the organism's genotype.
What causes the change in phenotype frequency in a population after each generation?
Gene mutation causes the phenotype frequency in a population to change after each generation.
What is the physical result of a combination of alleles?
The physical result of a combination of alleles is known as the phenotype, which refers to the physical characteristics or traits of an organism. Different combinations of alleles can lead to variations in the phenotype, such as eye color, height, or hair texture.
How are multiple alleles different from polygenic traits?
Multiple alleles are genes that have more than two alleles. An example of this would be blood types, with ABO as three separate alleles.Polygenic traits are traits whose phenotype rely on alleles from different genes. An example of this would be hair type, which relies on genes from different parts of chromosomes.The main difference is that multiple alleles are genes with 3 or more alleles; polygenic traits do not necessarily have more alleles, but they rely on on multiple genes.
What Happens when genes are neither recessive nor dominant?
When genes are neither recessive nor dominant, they are said to exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance. In incomplete dominance, both alleles are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in a blending of traits. In co-dominance, both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype, leading to a combination of traits.
Why do chromosomes determine an individuals phenotype?
Chromosomes are made of DNA and protein. DNA is the genetic material that determines the genotype and phenotype of a person. The phenotype is the genes that are expressed and observable. See the related link for further information.
If two genes in a gene pair are for the same trait what will that trait be?
The question should be "If two alleles for a gene are the same, what phenotype will the organism have?" Answer: If the two alleles are for the dominant phenotype, the organism will exhibit the dominant phenotype. If the two alleles are for the recessive phenotype, the organism will have the recessive phenotype.
Can you see all genetic variation?
No. Genotype is the combination of genes present in an organism. It consists of alleles whose visible characteristics is called phenotype. An organism's phenotype is visible and not the genotype as you just can't see a person and tell what kind of genes are present in the organism.
What genotype is produced by the phenotype B?
Genotypes are not created by phenotypes, they are the alleles/genes of the organism. Genotypes (in combination with environment) produce phenotypes. It would be expected that the genotypes Bb and BB would produce the phenotype B.
In humans the alleles for hemophilia h is recessive. Which phenotype is displayed in an individual with the genotype XhY?
Genes that come together with different alleles are called _____.
How are genes and and alleles related to genotype and phenotype?
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.
What is the phenotype for YySs?
The phenotype for YySs would depend on the specific traits controlled by the Y and S genes. Without knowing the specific traits and their dominance or recessiveness, it is not possible to determine the exact phenotype. Each allele (Y and S) will contribute to the overall phenotype in conjunction with any other alleles present at the respective loci.
How does a gene contribute to the expression of a phenotype?
The combination of genes tell what phenotype will be projected
What is an organism's genotype?
Its genetic makeup, or it's inherited combination of alleles.
