CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Within an individual organism, the specific combination of alleles for a gene is known as the genotype of the organism, and (as mentioned above) the physical trait associated with that genotype is called the phenotype of the organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. In a more narrow sense, the term can be used to refer to the alleles, or variant forms of a gene, that are carried by an organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -An organism’s genotype is its specific combination of alleles for a given gene. So, for example, in the pea plants above, the possible genotypes for the flower-color gene were red-red, red-white, and white-white. The phenotype is the physical manifestation of an organism’s allellic combination (genotype).

Detailed explanation-4: -Allele Combination. MGI Glossary. Definition. A designation of the specific alleles present on the two homologous chromosomes for all relevant loci of a mouse (i.e., all allele pairs of a genotype). An allele combination can be composed of one or more allele pairs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Humans have 2 sets of each chromosome so they possess the potential for only 2 alleles at any given locus, one inherited from each parent.
