So, if you have the genotype ww, will you have the widow’s peak phenotype? NEVER!!!! Because you have got recessive genes (w) from both your parents. When two recessive alleles are present, the recessive trait is expressed. So, if you have the genotype Ww, will you have the widow’s peak phenotype? ABSOLUTELY!!!! Because you have one dominate gene (W) you will have the phenotype. So, if you have the genotype WW, will you have the widow’s peak phenotype? ABSOLUTELY!!!!Īn individual can have 1 dominant gene and 1 recessive gene in their genotype (ex: Ww) depending on what genes they got from each parent. In other words, a dominant trait is always observed if a dominant allele for that trait is present.

Again, these letters are the Genotype Dominant and Recessive traits When dominant alleles are present, the information they carry is always expressed. You noticed that there are Uppercase letters and Lowercase letters. People either show a phenotype of an attached earlobe or an unattached earlobe.  The second image shows an unattached earlobe.

But why are there upper case letters and lower case letters? I’m so glad you asked.

You may be wondering why the genes are in pairs, this is because one of the genes came from the mother and one of the genes came from the father. Alleles are a PAIR of genes which is why you see the letters in groups of 2. See the letters above each picture? Those letters are the individual’s GENOTYPE and they represent the Genes or Alleles that determine the observable trait (phenotype) in the picture. If you don’t, your hair line on your forehead goes straight across without the point. You either have the phenotype of a widow’s peak or you don’t. Let’s take a look at some Phenotypes: This image shows a widow’s peak, this means the hair line on the forehead dips down into a peak. Phenotypes are the observable traits of an individual which the individual’s genes (alleles) have expressed. A person’s genotype tells us exactly what Alleles/genes they have. The Genotype describes the specific genetic make up of an individual. Together, alleles determine the genotype of an individual. Important vocabulary to know Alleles are corresponding pairs of genes located on an individual’s chromosomes. The human genome has at most 20,000 protein-coding genes, and apparently most genes have two alleles, although some have only one and others have more than two.5.06Genotypes and Phenotypes Need a little help?

The phenotype is the trait those genes express. This is shown by the three genetic conditions described earlier (BB, Bb, bb). A genotype is the genetic makeup of the organism. The two things a Punnett square can tell you are the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring. In respect to this, what are phenotypes in a Punnett square?

bask in the glow of your accomplishment !.

summarize results (genotypes & phenotypes of offspring).determine the possible genotypes of the offspring by filling in the p-square.determine the genotypes of the parent organisms.Likewise, how do you determine phenotypes? BABY STEPS: There are 3 alleles for the gene that determines blood type. Similarly one may ask, what are the possible phenotypes?īlood type exists as four possible phenotypes: A, B, AB, & O. Phenotype is how the genes are expressed. The genotype of the offspring will be a combination of the genes inherited from both parents. What are the phenotypes of offspring? Children inherit genes from both parents.
