Question

a person with genotype uu vv xx yy zz can have the same phenotype as a person with the genotype uu vv xx yy zz? true false

Answer 1

True
Genotype determines the phenotype and if the genotypes are the same, then the phenotypes will be the same as well.

Answer 2

Answer: The given statement is True.

Genotype is the genetic makeup of a living organism. it is determined by the genes, which are the segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein.

On the other hand, phenotype reflects the morphological form of the living organism. It is determined by the genotype as well as environmental factors acting on it.

In the question, the allelic forms ( alternative forms of gene) are same for the five genes present in both the genotype.

All are recessive alleles in both genotypes that is uu vv xx yy zz.

Thus, both the genotypes will produce same phenotypes.

Hence, the statement is true.
