Alleles
I think you have the question backwards, "Why isn't it possible to have more phenotypes than genotypes?" There are always more or an equal number of genotypes relative to phenotypes. The phenotype for a simple dominant/recessive interaction (for example) T for tall and t for short where TT is tall, Tt is tall and tt is short has three genotypes and two phenotypes. If T and t are co-dominant then TT would be tall, Tt would be intermediate and tt would be short. (Three phenotypes and three genotypes.)
The maximum number of different phenotypes available in a dihybrid cross with 16 boxes in a Punnett square is 4. This is because there are four possible combinations of alleles for two traits that can segregate independently.
The formula that predicts the number of genotypes from the number of genes is 3 to the power n. (n is the number of genes.) The following is the number of genotypes for a selected number (n) of genes which control an arbitrary trait.#genes------------- # genotipes1---------------- --------32 ------------------------95 ------------------------24310 ----------------------59,049ergo the number of phenotypes is proportionally related to the number of genes for that sequence.
The number of possible genotypes is typically higher than the number of observable phenotypes because multiple genotypes can result in the same phenotype due to genetic variations, interactions, and environmental factors. Different combinations of genotypes and environmental influences can lead to similar outward traits, resulting in fewer distinct phenotypes than genotypes.
i don't know but i think it is because of the recessive and dominate traits.
Phenotypes
The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait.
The trait will show a large number of variations or phenotypes due to the interactions between multiple genes. This is known as polygenic inheritance, where each gene contributes a small effect to the overall phenotype.

Is the number of all possible outcomes of an experiment. The number depends on the experiment.
Punnett Squares do not directly tell you the percentages of phenotypes and genotypes, it tells you the probability of the expected genotypes. Based on the Punnett Square, you can infer about the genotypic and phenotypic ratios.
The answer depends on the question. One possible question is what is the next number. And one possible answer to that question is 11.
Non-examples of phenotypes would include things like DNA sequences, genotypes, or gene variants. Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment. They are not the underlying genetic information itself.
The answer depends on the degree of rounding and since that information has not been provided, it is not possible to answer the question.
