Either analyzing the DNA sequence (which you probably don't have a lab to do it in) or breeding the organism and use a PUNNET SQUARE to determine if they are purebred. (don't try the breeding experiment on humans.)

What will determine the genotype of an organism?

The alleles that are passed from parents to offspring


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.


How do you determine the genotype percentage?

To determine genotype percentages, you first need to identify the genotypes present in a population and their respective frequencies. This can be done through methods such as Punnett squares, genetic testing, or observing phenotypic ratios. Once you have the counts of each genotype, you can calculate the percentage by dividing the number of individuals with each genotype by the total number of individuals and multiplying by 100. For example, if there are 20 individuals with genotype AA out of 100 total individuals, the genotype percentage for AA would be 20%.


Can you determine the genotype of a person just by looking at him or her?

No, the genotype of a person cannot be determined just by looking at them. Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an individual, which is not visible. Physical appearance is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

How can one determine the genotype of parents?

To determine the genotype of parents, one can perform a genetic test to analyze their DNA. This test can reveal the specific genetic variations or alleles that each parent carries, which can then be used to determine their genotype.

Does phenotype determine genotype?

It is a false statement that "phenotype determines genotype". In fact, it is the opposite. A genotype is the genetics or "instructions" that determine the phenotype. The phenotype is the actual appearance, ex: blue eyes, that is created by a given genotype.


How can one determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous?

One can determine whether a genotype is heterozygous or homozygous by looking at the alleles present. If there are two different alleles for a particular gene, the genotype is heterozygous. If there are two of the same alleles, the genotype is homozygous.


Can you accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype?

No, genotype actually determines phenotype.


What is the important of test cross?

to determine the unknown genotype.


What is a testcross in biology?

a cross between an organism whose genotype for a certain trait is unknown and an organism that is homozygous recessive for that trait so the unknown genotype can be determined from that of the offspring

The mating of an individual of unknown genotype with one that is homozygous recessive in order to determine the unknown genotype is a?

Test Cross.

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)
