Document Summary

The genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism, whereas the phenotype is the observable characteristic (produced by interaction b/w genotype environment) Genes provide the potential for the development of characteristics; this potential can be affected by interactions with other genes and with the environment. Principle of segregation two members of gene pair segregate from each other in the formation of gametes. Principle of independent assortment members of different gene pairs are transmitted independently of one another during gamete production. To determine an unknown genotype (usually individual with dominant phenotype), a. Test cross is made with a homozygous recessive individual, that tells the genotype of unknown. Heredity traits are transmitted from one generation to another (aka characters) Genes provide potential for developing a particular phenotypic characteristic. Genes are a starting point for determining the structure and function of an organism and the route to the mature phenotypic state is highly complex, involving many interacting biochemical pathways.
