What is the difference between genotype and phenotype and give examples?

Answer 1

A genotype is the actual genetic coding for an organism

A phenotype is the physical appearance

For example, let's say BB or Bb is the coding for black hair. BB/Bb is the genotype, and the black hair is the phenotype

Answer 2

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, while phenotype refers to the physical characteristics and traits that result from the interaction of genotype with the environment. For example, in humans, the genotype for eye color may be a combination of genes from both parents, but the phenotype would be the actual color of the eyes, such as blue, brown, or green.

Answer 3

There are genotypes and phenotypes discussed in genetics.
Genotypes include both recessive and dominant genes, and is the genetic makeup of the organism.
Phenotypes are only the traits that are observed in an organism, i.e. double-recessive, or dominant genes.

If you looked at horned/polled(no horns) cattle. The polled gene is dominant, the horned gene is recessive.
A cow with horns would be expressing the horned phenotype. It would also have the double-polled genotype since it is a recessive gene.
A cow without horns would be expressing the polled phenotype. However, it could have either 2 polled genes for the genotype, or it could have 1 polled gene and 1 horned gene for the genotype.

Answer 4

A genotype is the genetic identity of an organism. Sometimes the genotype can be different but it does not affect the phenotype. The phenotype is the visible characteristics of the cell. This can include the types and amounts of protein in the cell, or the colour of the flowers of a plant.

The classical Mendelian example is of pea flowers, where there are two alleles (let's call them A and a). The genotype can be AA, Aa or aa. Even though the phenotype of AA and Aa are the same (they both have pink flowers), their genotypes are different, because the genes A and a are not the same.

Answer 5

genotype are the arrangement of genes in an organism and phenotype is the physical appearance of the organism.

Ex. Lets say a plant has the genotype TT for its color, which is pink and another plant has the genotype tt and its color is white. These two plants produce an offspring with the genotype of Tt and since the pink color is dominant and the white color is recessive, the phenotype of the offspring plant will be pink

Answer 6

The genotype is the set of alleles that an organism inherits for a trait. The phenotype is the expression of the genotype. For example, black coat color (B) in mice is dominant over white coat color (b). A mouse with the genotype Bb, will have the black coat color phenotype.

Answer 7

Phenotype is the characteristic that you can see. An example of a phenotype would be eye color, hair color (natural), can you roll your tongue? Are your earlobes attached or hanging?

Answer 8

give the proper way of readind the BB genotype

Answer 9

Eye color, blue or brown.
