Answer: Genotype is the genetic makeup or composition of an organism while phenotype is the outward appearance of an organism.

Explanation: Genotype is a set of gene that controls a specific trait in an organism while phenotype is the observed physical characteristics or traits of an organism.

Every trait is controlled by a pair of gene known as the genotype, and this pair of gene is what determines the physical characteristics that can be observed in the organism.

For instance, the height of an individual is determined by a pair of gene, the gene cannot be seen physically but the outward manifestation of the gene which is the person's height can be observed. It can be observed that the person is either tall or short. This outward appearance is known as the phenotype while the gene that controls it is known as the genotype.

The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism, while the Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is observable and are the expression of the genes of an individual. So even the organism with the same species may differ, with a minute difference in their genotype. This is the main difference between the two.

We can notice one’s hair colour, eye colour, height, weight, skin colour, etc. but cannot look at genes responsible for these characters, so the observable physical look is the phenotype while the unnoticed genes responsible for such characters present in the DNA of cell of the individual is genotype.

To explain the above lines, here is the simple example of a pure red colour flowering plant (RR) is crossed with the white colour flowering plant (rr). The result of the Genotype of the F1 generation will be – Rr (Hybrid red colour), and the Phenotype of the F1 generation will be the – Red colour flowering plant.

Genotype and phenotype are the two very closely related and similar-sounding words, but their meaning is different. Our earth has a dynamic variety of organisms, present in soil, water and on land. But as the genome of each organism is different, and so there phenotypes also whether it’s their colour, height, weight or other morphological features.

Explain how the texture of a rock surface affects how fast it physically weather by water.
sergey [27]

Answer:

A rock's exposure to the weathering elements and its surface area can affect its rate of weathering. Rocks that are constantly bombarded by running water, wind, and other erosion agents, will weather more quickly. Rocks that have a large surface area exposed to these agents will also weather more quickly.

Explanation:

Properties of the Parent Rock ;

  • The mineralogy and structure of a rock affects it’s susceptibility to weathering.
  • Different minerals weather at different rates. Mafic silicates like olivine and pyroxene tend to weather much faster than felsic minerals like quartz and feldspar. Different minerals show different degrees of solubility in water in that some minerals dissolve much more readily than others. Water dissolves calcite more readily than it does feldspar, so calcite is considered to be more soluble than feldspar.
  • A rock’s structure also affects its susceptibility to weathering. Massive rocks like granite generally to not contain planes of weakness whereas layered sedimentary rocks have bedding planes that can be easily pulled apart and infiltrated by water. Weathering therefore occurs more slowly in granite than in layered sedimentary rocks.

What is a major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans?
soldi70 [24.7K]

The major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans is the host immune system would destroy such cells.

The body of your child is shielded from external invaders by the immune system. These include poisons, bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other types of germs (chemicals made by microbes). The various organs, cells, and proteins that make up the immune system cooperate with one another. Infections like measles, mono (mononucleosis), and the flu virus can also temporarily impair immunity. Additionally, unhealthy eating habits, alcoholism, and smoking might impair your immune system.

Antigens, which are proteins on the surface of the invading cells, are used by the immune system to identify invaders. Every substance or cell has a unique set of antigens, and every person's cells include "self-antigens" that are particular to that person.

<span>amylase is an example of an enzyme</span>

In biochemical reactions, it is mostly triggered by enzymes. Enzymes are important components in the process that involves metabolism and digestive functions, further, most of these enzymes are proteins.Proteins are biological macromolecule and mostly composed of enzymes. Proteins play a role in the physical make-up of a cell or acts as a cytoskeleton –maintains cell shape and figure. These proteins plays different roles and works with nucleic acids and other macromolecules in the cells including cell cycle, cell adhesion, immune response and cell indicators.
