Question
an organisms genotype is (1 point)
an observable trait.
an allele that is expressed whenever it is present.
a trait that is expressed in a homozygous individual.
the set of alleles an organism has for a trait.
The genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, which is the set of alleles it has for a particular trait. An observable trait is the phenotype. An allele that is expressed whenever present is a dominant allele. A trait expressed in a homozygous individual could be part of the phenotype or related to allele dominance - recessiveness, but not the definition of genotype.
