Unveiling The Role Of Genotype In Trait Expression And Inheritance Patterns
An organism’s genotype encompasses its genetic makeup, determining its traits and inheritance patterns. Alleles, specific gene variants, influence genotype, with dominant and recessive traits exhibiting varying phenotypic expressions. Homozygous genotypes possess identical allele pairs, while heterozygous genotypes consist of different allele combinations. The genotype influences the observable phenotype, shaped by gene expression and environmental factors….
