Question

complete the following passage regarding genotypes and phenotypes.
the that an organism inherits from its parents influence its phenotype. phenotypes can also be influenced throughout an organisms lifetime by the expression of particular genes. for example, the expression of an allele will often strengthen that alleles phenotype.
independent assortment behaviors increasing terminating alleles decreasing
changing

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a gene. An organism inherits alleles from its parents, and these alleles influence its phenotype. Phenotypes can be influenced throughout an organism's lifetime by changing the expression of particular genes. If the expression of an allele is increased, it often strengthens that allele's phenotype. For example, if a gene related to muscle growth (with an allele for more muscle mass) has its expression increased (maybe through exercise - which can influence gene expression in some cases), the phenotype (muscle mass) related to that allele is strengthened.

Answer:

The first blank: alleles. The second blank: changing. The third blank: increasing.
