Explain how two organisms can have the same phenotypes but different genotype s?

1 answer:

8 0

Genotypes are the different allele combinations that an organism has, while phenotypes are the traits that show up physically.

So, two organisms can have the same phenotypes by looking alike, but their genotypes may be, in fact, very different. Homozygotes for the dominant allele and heterozygotes will both have the same phenotype. Organisms have the same phenotype, or physical characteristics. They do not however, have the same genotype, or genetic makeup. If T represent tall, and t represnts short then the organism will have the genotypes TT and Tt. If you make a Punnett square you will have the same phenotype but different genotypes.

kenny6666 [7]

Mitosis is the cell division that happens to replace old cells with new ones.

Describing how is the cells group is the process of multiplication of cell or the so-called cell division, mitosis. This mechanism of each cell produces another cell that binds together and produces again, repeatedly, to be a larger system called now the tissue as explained earlier.How? Through cell division called, mitosis. Excerpt meiosis –cell division specifically in the sex cells.

They are labelled as daughter cells.

9. In guinea pigs, rough coat is dominant (R) to smooth coat (r) and black coat (B) is dominant to white coat (b). A rough black

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

the genotype of the parent guinea pigs are as follows:

RrBb (rough, black) and Rrbb (rough, white)

Explanation:

Since the phenotype of smooth coat is present in the offspring, the parent genotype cannot have RR alleles for their coat. Similarly, the rough, black parent cannot have BB alleles in its genotype because that will not yield a white coat color in its offspring.

After making the dihybdrid cross, the probability obtained for each phenotype is given below:

rough black: $\frac{3}{8}$
