Genetic chance of offspring getting certan trait.

Answer 3

Genotype is your genetic makeup, as opposed to phenotype, which is the physical characteristics that are shown.

Answer 4

The genotype is the genetic constitution of a cell, an organism, or an individual, that is the specific allele makeup of the individual, usually with reference to a specific character under consideration

For instance, the human albino gene has two allelic forms, dominant A and recessive a, and there are three possible genotypes- AA (homozygous dominant), Aa (heterozygous), and aa (homozygous recessive).

These are present on the chromosomes.To be simple genotype is the genitic makeup of an organism.

Answer 5

genotype- constitution of an organism in terms of its genes.

just got it of my biology book (glossary)

Answer 6

genotype refers to the specific gene an organism posseses. For instance, there are genes for black, brown, blonde, and red hair. The hair color is the phenotype. The specific gene the person has for that hair color is the genotype. So if you have only a persons DNA, you can tell what color hair they have by determining their genotype.
