Detailed explanation-1: -Since the phenotype is the result of an interaction between genes and the environment, different environments can lead to different traits in individuals with a particular genotype. In addition, different genotypes can lead to the same phenotype. This happens because genes have different alleles.
Detailed explanation-2: -The answer is yes, two different genotypes can result in the same phenotype. Remember, the recessive phenotype will be expressed only when the dominant allele is absent, or when an individual is homozygous recessive (tt) (Figure below).
Detailed explanation-3: -Different genotypes can produce the same phenotype.
Detailed explanation-4: -Flexi Says: Genotypic and phenotypic ratio are not always same in simple trait genetics. The alleles an individual inherits make up the individual’s genotype. The two alleles may be the same or different. This results in three possible genotypes (BB, Bb and bb).
Detailed explanation-5: -An organism’s phenotype is determined by its genotype, which is the set of genes the organism carries, as well as by environmental influences upon these genes.
