Question

The inherited component of a phenotype is determined by the:

		age of the organism
		heterozygote
		homozygote
		genotype
		phenotype

Expert Solution

Step 1

Phenotype simply means a distinguishable characteristic.

Pheno, which has the same root as the term "phenomenon," simply means "observe."

It can therefore refer to anything from a common trait, like height or hair colour, to the presence or absence of a disease. It is also an observable type of an organism.

Phenotypes are frequently used to refer to a difference in DNA sequence across individuals with different traits, such as height, hair colour, sickness, or whatever else.

But it's crucial to keep in

mind that environmental factors might sometimes have a greater impact on phenotypes than genetic factors.

So a phenotype and genotype may or may not be directly related.
