Genotype relates to the genetic makeup of an individual, and refers to all the genes on your chromosomes, whereas phenotype refers to the physical attributes that exist as a result of the genotype. Taking eye colour as an example, your phenotype will be brown eyes, and your genotype will be the two genes (one from the sperm and one from the egg). Only one of these two genes (the dominant one) will contribute toward your phenotype.
What else can I help you with?
What are an individual's observable traits called?
genotype or phenotype
What is a physical expression of a genotype?
A physical expression of a genotype is called a phenotype. It refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism resulting from the interaction of its genetic makeup (genotype) with the environment. Examples of phenotypic traits include eye color, height, and behavior.
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
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 phenotype and genotype relate?
Genotype and phenotype are to words that are not related. Genotype refers to classification by comparing genetics. Phenotype refers to classification according to the appearance of an organism.
Is The appearance of an organism its phenotype or genotype?
The appearance of an organism is its phenotype. Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, while phenotype refers to its observable characteristics resulting from the interaction of genotype with the environment.
Is ears genotype or phenotype?
Ears are a phenotype, as they are physical characteristics that can be observed. Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism.
What is the difference between genotype and genotype?
Phenotype is the physical Characteristic that you can see. The genotype is the genetic information (the genes) that code for the proteins that cause the phenotype. Relatively simple examples include eye, skin and hair color.
Can you accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype?
No, genotype actually determines phenotype.
How is genotype and phenotype compared?
Genotype is the allele combination and phenotype is the physical appearance of the result of the genotype. Genotype for tallness may be: Tt Phenotype example: Brown hair, blue eyes, widow's peak, etc.
Is BB a genotype or a Phenotype?
Genotype
2 What is the biological relationship between genotype and phenotype?
Genotype refers to an individual's genetic makeup, while phenotype is the physical expression of those genes. Genotype influences phenotype through the information encoded in the DNA that determines the traits an organism will have. Environmental factors can also play a role in how the genotype is expressed to produce the phenotype.
