An organism's allele pairs, such as TT, tt, or Tt, represent its genotype. The genotype refers to the specific genetic makeup of an organism, including the alleles it carries. In contrast, phenotype refers to the observable traits or characteristics that result from the interaction of the genotype with the environment.

The possible pairs of alleles that would produce the yellow-flower phenotype are FF and Ff. Since the F allele is dominant over f, having at least one F allele in the genotype will result in a yellow flower color.
The cumulative effect of two pairs of genes refers to the combined influence of both pairs on an organism's phenotype. This can result in additive effects, where the traits from each pair of genes contribute independently, or epistasis, where the effect of one pair of genes masks or modifies the expression of the other pair. Ultimately, the interaction between these gene pairs determines the overall phenotype of the organism.
Alleles are alternative forms of a gene that may differ in their nucleotide sequence, leading to variations in traits. Genes come in pairs, with one allele inherited from each parent, contributing to an individual's genotype and phenotype. Alleles can be dominant or recessive, influencing the expression of traits in an organism.
Gregor Mendel formulated three laws of inheritance: the Law of Segregation (allele pairs separate during gamete formation), the Law of Independent Assortment (traits are inherited independently), and the Law of Dominance (one allele will be dominant over another in the phenotype).
An organism's allele pairs refer to the different forms of a gene present on each pair of homologous chromosomes. Each allele represents a variation of a particular gene and can be dominant or recessive. The combination of allele pairs determines an organism's genetic traits.

The genotype of an organism is the group of characteristics derived from a combination of heredity and environmental factors. Genotype is based on genetic factors only. phenotypes are the genes that an organism carries. For example, the gene for blue eyes could be b and the gene for brown eyes could be B. Bb is a genotype. Phenotype is the trait that show up. Since brown eyes are dominant, the phenotype of Bb would be brown eyes.
Example 1: There are 5 gene pairs, how many gametes can be formed if only 3 of them are heterozygous? There are two ways you can work out this problem, it depends on the genotype and phenotype. As you calculate the genotype you take 2 and raise it to the number of heterozygous gene pairs, which in our case is 3; so it would read, 2^3=8 different gametes. If we took the phenotype you would take the inverse of 2 and raise it to the number of heterozygous gene pairs which is 3; so it would read 1/2^3 which equals 1/8=0.125 different gametes dilse2 said .................................................... Number all probable gametes = 2n x m where n = number of heterozygous allele pairs m = number of homozygous allele pairs for your question n = 3 m = 2 Number all probable gametes = 23 x 2 = 16
no not always due to some phenotypes having more than one gene sequence that affects it, eg; the base sequence for a certain enzyme's synthesis could be TTT but by substituting a T with a C to make TTC in mutation could still be a code for the same enzyme...

When there are two different alleles for a trait, it means that an individual possesses two different forms of a gene that determines that trait. One allele may be dominant over the other, resulting in the dominant trait being expressed in the phenotype. The genotype of an organism carries the information for both alleles present.
The cumulative effect of two pairs of genes refers to the combined influence of both pairs on an organism's phenotype. This can result in additive effects, where the traits from each pair of genes contribute independently, or epistasis, where the effect of one pair of genes masks or modifies the expression of the other pair. Ultimately, the interaction between these gene pairs determines the overall phenotype of the organism.
Homozygous is the term used to describe an organism with two allele pairs that are identical, in reference to dominant characteristic traitÊin heredity.
Alleles are the different forms of a gene.Alleles are corresponding pairs of genes located at specific positions in the chromosomes. Together, alleles determine the genotype. Alleles which determine some aspect of the phenotype, the physical appearance of an organism, are said to be coding alleles.When both alleles in a pair are the same, the alleles are homozygous. If the alleles are different, they are heterozygous. In the case of homozygous alleles, the expression of phenotype is usually very straightforward. In heterozygous instances, however, the phenotype of the organism is determined by which allele is dominant, meaning that one allele overrides the other.In the case of eye color in humans, if someone inherits a blue allele and a brown allele, his or her eyes will be brown, because brown is a dominant genetic trait, requiring only one allele for expression. However, if that person had a child with someone who also carried a blue allele and both parents passed the blue trait down, the child would have blue eyes. This explains why blue-eyed children sometimes randomly pop up in a brown-eyed family: because someone in the family's genetic history had blue eyes.
The dominant parent is most likely homozygous dominant, and the recessive parent has only the homozygous genotype. So the dominant parent can pass on only dominant alleles for this trait, and the recessive parent can pass on only recessive alleles for this trait. So all of the offspring would be heterozygous and have the dominant phenotype.
