Genetics question about traits being determined by either genotype or environment?

Brock Anwar: 1 is environment

Edwina Fu: Every organisms has a genotype. In humans this is the set of 25,000 genes we carry that code for the embryo to grow and develop into a mature adult. Each organism gets two alleles per gene out of all possible alleles there are for each gene. For example blood type has three alleles A, B, and O. Each person inherits only two of the three possible. The phenotype are the gene's alleles that are active and alter some of the organism's measurable differences: height, weight, coloration, rate of metabolism or blood type. If the person gets A O then they have a phenotype of A because the O doe not alter the phenotype. If one of a gene's alleles is not expressed in the phenotype it makes no difference to the individual's behavior or appearance but it might in another generation. In another generation the O allele might pair with another O....Show more

Jess Grizzel: I have no idea about number 1 but 2 is genotype, 3 is environme! nt, 4 is environment, 5 is genotype, 6 is environment, 7 is genotype, and 8 is environment. If the trait is determined by the environment then that means that it was the conditions that surrounded the organism that made it change. If the trait is determined by the genotype then the organism inherited the trait....Show more
