An organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic that results from the organism's genotype and the environment. Genotype An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
What is the name of the group of genes that are expressed in an organism's observable outer appearance?
Genes that are expressed in an organism's observable outer appearance are called it's phenotype and the group of genes responsible for this expression is called phenotypical dna .
What is the definition of phenotype?
Phenotype. Definition: The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
What is genetically modified organism?
A genetically modified organism, is simply an organism who’s genes has been modified, as a result of human intervention by performing genetic engineering. This is done to bring out certain desirable traits (that benefit mankind) or repress the bad ones. This usually leads to wide profits for us, and at the same time, helps mankind by the name of reducing prices of food, and sometimes even medicine.
Is there a word for genetic makeup?
I would argue that there is no one word for “genetic makeup”. It may be to teach MSc students but not in real science. The genome is the whole dna content of an Organism. A very small part of it transcribes under strict control to form mRNA (transcriptome). Even smaller portion of this RNA translates to proteins (proteome) and after several modifications (most of which are topics of advanced research), these proteins function together to produce the phenotypes (characters) by which we recognize an Organism and hence it may be called the “genetic makeup”.
Does the environment affect appearance?
No. Environment will influence appearance to some degree.
Do zebras look different?
This is a very interesting question - and the answer is that we do NOT all look different - to another species, or even another race. You may not be able to tell two Zebras apart, but they can. The black and white stripes they wear are individual to each Zebra but to a Human, all Zebras look the same. This is true of a great many (if not all) creatures on Earth.
