Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The set of genes that an offspring inherits from both parents, a combination of the genetic material of each, is called the organism’s genotype. The genotype is contrasted to the phenotype, which is the organism’s outward appearance and the developmental outcome of its genes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains the biological instructions that make each species unique.

Detailed explanation-3: -Specifically, to detect the underlying genotype of an organism with a dominant phenotype, one must do a type of breeding analysis called a test cross.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the cell’s genetic material, contained in chromosomes within the cell nucleus and mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of turning genes on and off is known as gene regulation. Gene regulation is an important part of normal development. Genes are turned on and off in different patterns during development to make a brain cell look and act different from a liver cell or a muscle cell, for example.
