Question
which statement describes a genotype?
○ a section of dna in which the code for a protein is located
○ the pair of dna sequences an organism has for a trait
○ one variation of the code for a protein
○ the physical trait produced by an organisms genetic makeup
A genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. It specifically represents the pair of DNA sequences (alleles) an organism has for a particular trait. A section of DNA coding for a protein is a gene. One variation of the code for a protein is an allele. The physical trait produced by an organism's genetic makeup is the phenotype. So, the pair of DNA sequences an organism has for a trait correctly describes a genotype.
