NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -(FEE-noh-tipe) The observable characteristics in an individual resulting from the expression of genes; the clinical presentation of an individual with a particular genotype.

Detailed explanation-2: -These alleles segregate and assort into six genotypes, as shown in Table 1. As Table 1 indicates, only four phenotypes result from the six possible ABO genotypes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A phenotypic trait, the expression of genes in an observable way, is an obvious and measurable trait. The phenotype is variable depending on the genetic makeup of the organism and also influenced by the surroundings to which the organism is subjected across its morphogenesis, including various epigenetic processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Two alleles for a given gene in a diploid organism are expressed and interact to produce physical characteristics. The observable traits expressed by an organism are referred to as its phenotype.

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.
