What is your phenotype?
Phenotype Definition Phenotype is a description of your physical characteristics. It includes both your visible traits (like hair or eye color) and your measurable traits (like height or weight). The set of genes you carry (known as your genotype) is what determines your phenotype.
Is personality a phenotype?
Personality is likely to be a top candidate intermediate phenotype for the dissection of the genetic underpinnings of different subtypes of AUD.
Is TT a phenotype or genotype?
| Genotype Symbol | Genotype Vocab | Phenotype |
|---|---|---|
| TT | homozygous DOMINANT or pure tall | tall |
| Tt | heterozygous or hybrid | tall |
| tt | homozygous RECESSIVE or pure short | short |
How do you know if its heterozygous or homozygous?
Because an organism has two sets of chromosomes, it usually only has two options to choose from when determining phenotype. If an organism has identical genes on both chromosomes, it is said to be homozygous. If the organism has two different alleles of the gene it is said to be heterozygous.
Is ZZ heterozygous or homozygous?
Heterozygote: an organism with two different alleles. We show this with an upper and a lower case letter, for example: Aa, Bb, Zz are all heterozygous.
What genotype means?
In a broad sense, the term “genotype” refers to the genetic makeup of an organism; in other words, it describes an organism’s complete set of genes. Humans are diploid organisms, which means that they have two alleles at each genetic position, or locus, with one allele inherited from each parent.
What are the possible genotype in humans?
Human blood type is determined by co-dominant alleles. A description of the pair of alleles in our DNA is called the genotype. Since there are three different alleles, there are a total of six different genotypes at the human ABO genetic locus. The different possible genotypes are AA, AO, BB, BO, AB, and OO.
