what is genotype and phenotype?
answer it fastly.....
Answers
Answer:
Genotype versus phenotype. An organism's genotype is the set of genes that it carries. An organism's phenotype is all of its observable characteristics — which are influenced both by its genotype and by the environment. ... For example, differences in the genotypes can produce different phenotypes.
Answer:Genotype is the *genetic make-up * of an organism . It describes about the nature of each allele .
Phenotype is the morphology of an organism .
Explanation:
The genotype is expressed as phenotype when the information encoded in the genes is used to make protein and RNA molecules.
Here , we have crossed a heterozygous ( the two alleles show dominant and recessive relationship vix T and t ) male gamete with a heterozygous female gamete .
We get the progenies as
1 ) TT homozygous ( the two alleles are of same type ) : TALL PLANT
2) Tt heterozygous :TALL PLANT ( since T is dominant over t )
3) Tt
4) tt homozygous :DWARF PLANT
Here the Phenotype (morphology) of the plant shows you :
3 : 1 ratio (Tall plants :Dwarf plants)
Just consider how the plant heights look to you externally)
However , if you consider the genotypic ratio i.e genetic make up , you consider the nature of genes i.e heterozygous or homozygous .
According to that , we have a ratio : 1 :2 :1 (homozygous tall :heterozygous tall :homozygous short )
I hope this will help you
have a nice day
