give three examples of both genotypes and phenotypes?


Answers:
Genotype is the trait inherited
Phenotype is the physical attributeE.g.:
a. Genotype- height
Phenotype- short or tallb. Genotype- fur colour
Phenotype- black or brown (taking into account that it is a mouse)c. Genotype- hair
Phenotype- straight or curly
Your genotype is, quite simply, the traits in your genes.Your phenotype is just the traits you show physically.So, for example, in your genotype you may have genes for brown eyes and blue eyes, but your phenotype can't have both brown and blue (very very rare), so your phenotype is EITHER brown OR blue.Another example, your genotype may show genes for both attached and unattached earlobes, but your phenotype shows ONLY the attached or unattached earlobes.You cannot determine a person's genotype just by looking at the phenotype, and you cannot determine a person's phenotype just by looking at the genotype.
1. genotype= for eye color B(brown)b(blue) phenotype=brown eyes 2.genotype= for blood type AO phenotype= type A 3.genotype= for 4'oclock flowers RW phenotype= pink color
