GENETIC BASIS OF INHERITANCE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
geneticists call how a trait appears or described
A
phenotype
B
genotype
C
gene
D
allele
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phenotype refers to an individual’s observable traits, such as height, eye color and blood type. A person’s phenotype is determined by both their genomic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Phenomics: The systematic study of phenotypes on a genome-wide scale.

Detailed explanation-4: -The observable traits expressed by an organism are referred to as its phenotype. An organism’s underlying genetic makeup, consisting of both physically visible and non-expressed alleles, is called its genotype.

Detailed explanation-5: -A person’s genotype is their unique sequence of DNA. More specifically, this term is used to refer to the two alleles a person has inherited for a particular gene. Phenotype is the detectable expression of this genotype – a patient’s clinical presentation.
