What are phenotype and genotype and what terms that describe them?

A very easy way to remember these two terms is: phenotype is what you see and genotype is what is in the genes. You may have B blood type (what to see) but you could have BB or BO (what is in your genes.


What is another term that describes the heterozygous genotype?

The term "hybrid" is often used to describe an individual with a heterozygous genotype, which means they have two different alleles for a particular gene. This contrasts with a homozygous genotype, where an individual has two identical alleles for a specific gene.


Which bests describes the factors that describe a phenotype?

(Apex Learning) The genotype and the environment both affect phenotype.


Are genotype genes for RNA?

Genotype refers to the genetic composition of an organism, typically in terms of specific genes and their variations. Genes encode instructions for making RNA, which is involved in various cellular processes. So, genotype indirectly influences the production and functioning of RNA in an organism.


Using the terms dominant recessive explain the difference between genotype and phenotype?

No, I think you have your terms confused.The terms "dominant" and "recessive" are applied to alleles of a genotype. A genotype is an expression (using upper- and lower-case letters) that shows what alleles an organism has for a particular locus. The two alleles (in most cases) inherited (one from mother and one from father) can either be dominant or recessive. The recessive allele is not fully expressed in the presence of the dominant allele and is only expressed when there are two recessive alleles. The genotype could be called "recessive" I suppose if the genotype is homozygous recessive. But remember that two recessive alleles as a genotype is only one possibility - in which case you can't say the "genotype is recessive".The phenotype is dependent on the genotype. If present, the dominant alleles (in simple Mendelian genetics) will determine the phenotype - what the organism's trait or characteristic is. The phenotype will never be what is coded by the recessive allele unless the genotype is two recessive alleles.

Do genotype or phenotype describe characteristics that can be observed?

The phenotype is the physical manifestation that is observable.


What is the difference between an allele and a genotype?

An allele is a specific version of a gene, while a genotype refers to the combination of alleles that an individual has for a particular trait. In simpler terms, an allele is like a variation of a gene, and a genotype is the specific genetic makeup of an individual.

What is the distinction between an individual's phenotype and genotype?

An individual's phenotype refers to their observable traits, such as physical appearance and behavior, while their genotype refers to their genetic makeup, including the specific genes they inherit from their parents. In simpler terms, phenotype is what you see, while genotype is what you inherit.
