Describe how the genotype of an organism can influence the
phenotype associated with a particular allele?
Answer / guest
The phenotype is a function of the genotype and
environmental and molecular events that occur during
embryonic development and thereafter.
Some phenotypic traits are due to the allelic composition
of a single gene, most are based on a large number of
different genes .

In horses, B = black, b = brown, T = trotter, t = pacer. A black pacer mated to a brown trotter produces a black trotter offspring year after year. What are the probable genotypes?
The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A, the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How would you respond to the following statements of the attornies: a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child must have come from the father and since my client is type B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by the attorney of the alleged father. b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's attorney.
which protein contains all the 20 amino acids?
A number of plant species have a recessive allele for albinism; homozygous albino (white) individuals are unable to synthesize chlorophyll. If a tobacco plant heterozygous for albinism is allowed to self-pollinate and 500 seeds germinate: a)how many offspring will be the same genotype as the parent? b)how many seedlings would you expect to be white?
What is the difference between an allele and a mutation?
Flower position, stem length, and seed shape were three traits that were studied by Mendel. Each is controlled by an independently assorting gene. If a plant that is heterozygous for all three traits was allowed to self- fertilize, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to show all three dominant phenotypes?
