Question

7.1. distinguish between the genotype and phenotype of a given genetic trait. indicate whether each of the following represents a genotype or phenotype. genotype hh alleles a - positive blood type homozygous recessive hairy knuckles phenotype

Explanation:

• Genotype: Refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. "Hh alleles" shows the specific alleles (versions of a gene) and "homozygous recessive" describes the genetic composition (two recessive alleles).
• Phenotype: Refers to the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism. "A - positive blood type" and "hairy knuckles" are observable traits.

Answer:

• Genotype: Hh alleles, homozygous recessive
• Phenotype: A - positive blood type, hairy knuckles
