Genotype or Phenotype

Front

What is a Genotype?

Back

The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by the alleles it possesses (e.g., BB, Bb, bb).

Front

What is a Phenotype?

Back

The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, determined by both its genotype and environment (e.g., blue eyes, tall height).

Front

What does 'BB' represent?

Back

A genotype that indicates a homozygous dominant trait.

Front

What does 'bb' represent?

Back

A genotype that indicates a homozygous recessive trait.

Front

What does 'Bb' represent?

Back

A genotype that indicates a heterozygous trait.

Front

Give an example of a Phenotype.

Back

Examples include dimples, hair color, and height.

Front

How are Genotype and Phenotype related?

Back

Genotype determines the potential traits (phenotype) an organism can express.

Front

What is an example of a Genotype?

Back

BB, Bb, or bb are examples of genotypes.

Front

What is the Phenotype of someone with the genotype 'Bb' for a dominant trait?

Back

The phenotype would express the dominant trait.

Front

Can two organisms with the same Genotype have different Phenotypes?

Back

Yes, due to environmental factors affecting expression.
