genotype vs phenotype
Definitions
noun
- the particular alleles at specified loci present in an organism
- a group of organisms sharing a specific genetic constitution
Examples
Since the asexual gametophyte does not form antheridia or archegonia, crosses to confirm its genotype could not be performed.
We showed that CmACS-7 is specifically expressed in carpel primordia, and, in andromonoecious genotypes, a missense mutation leads to loss of enzymatic activity.
First, much adaptation appeared to be non-genetic and regulated by the environment, not by the inherited genotype.
Definitions
noun
- what an organism looks like as a consequence of the interaction of its genotype and the environment
Examples
The contours show combinations of mimic phenotypes that are attacked by predators with equal probability.
The blue and red boxes indicate the amino acid changes associated with the andromonoecious phenotype in melon and cucumber, respectively.
That notion identifies heritability with the regression of the offspring phenotype on the parental (or biparental mean in the case of sexual reproduction), where both phenotypes are presented as z-scores (i.e., set to mean = 0 and standard deviation = 1).
