The genotype of an organism refers to its complete force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=genetic&did=892" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,892,'genetic');return false;" style="color:#009000;">genetic makeup, including all the force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=genes&did=1156" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1156,'genes');return false;" style="color:#009000;">genes and force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=alleles&did=1158" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1158,'alleles');return false;" style="color:#009000;">alleles it carries.
Each gene in an organism can have different forms, known as force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=alleles&did=1158" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1158,'alleles');return false;" style="color:#009000;">alleles. For example, the gene for eye color may have force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=alleles&did=1158" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1158,'alleles');return false;" style="color:#009000;">alleles for blue, brown, or green eyes.
An organism can have either homozygous genotype (two identical force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=alleles&did=1158" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1158,'alleles');return false;" style="color:#009000;">alleles for a particular gene, e.g., AA or aa) or heterozygous genotype (two different force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=alleles&did=1158" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1158,'alleles');return false;" style="color:#009000;">alleles for a particular gene, e.g., Aa).
Punnett squares are used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring based on the genotypes of the parents. They are helpful in understanding the probability of certain traits being passed on to the next generation.
The genotype of an organism determines its force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=phenotype&did=1160" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1160,'phenotype');return false;" style="color:#009000;">phenotype, which is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics resulting from the interaction of the genotype with the force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=environment&did=923" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,923,'environment');return false;" style="color:#009000;">environment.
force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=genetic+variation&did=1633" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1633,'genetic variation');return false;" style="color:#009000;">Genetic variation within a force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=population&did=1078" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1078,'population');return false;" style="color:#009000;">population is a result of the different combinations of genotypes. This variation is essential for force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=adaptation&did=1297" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1297,'adaptation');return false;" style="color:#009000;">adaptation and force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=evolution&did=888" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,888,'evolution');return false;" style="color:#009000;">evolution.
Examples of genotype can include the specific combination of force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=alleles&did=1158" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1158,'alleles');return false;" style="color:#009000;">alleles for traits such as hair color, force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=blood&did=1251" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1251,'blood');return false;" style="color:#009000;">blood type, and susceptibility to certain force-motion-and-energy?dictionary=diseases&did=1790" onclick="getAsistant(this,event,1790,'disease');return false;" style="color:#009000;">diseases.
