Question

Help please!! :)

The genotype represents:
A. a paired combination of genes
B. either a dominate or recessive gene
C. a given phenotype
D. two alleles

Answer 1

What do you think it should be?

Answer 2

I was thinking either B or D but I'm still not sure. @Abhisar

Answer 3

i think its D

Answer 4

Genotype is basically the genetic make-up/description of a cell. It tells about what kind of genes are present inside a cell. Does this rings a bell?

Answer 5

okay so that would narrow my choices down to A or C sooooo iam thinking C ? @Abhisar

Answer 6

is can be....two alleles e:g AA or Aa (for albinism) showing two alleles

Answer 7

Why I think it is not D

It will be the answer only if we are considering one trait like say tallness but there are many traits in a cell for example do you remember dihybrid cross ? there are four alleles in a dihybrid cross.

Answer 8

hmmmm...

Answer 9

But if we consider option A i.e paired combination of genes then i think it's true

Answer 10

hmm yeh it can be the word PAIRED matters alot ..

Answer 11

Also for D, there are sometimes like say ABO blood grouping which has more than two alleles for the same trait.......

Answer 12

yeh homozygous

Answer 13

Overall the options are two close but if we have to select only one my opinion will be A, i.e paired combination of genes.

Answer 14

*too

Answer 15

hmmm well this question really is confusin ..

Answer 16

Ohhh okay i sorta see what you are talking about now! @Abhisar

Answer 17

i think its option A
and i will agree with abhisar

Answer 18

hmmm still confused...

Answer 19

I think it is Option A also. But thanks you guys for the Help!!

Answer 20

genotype represent a paired combinations either dominant or reccesive or both

Answer 21

Let's call @aaronq for his opinion

Answer 22

ur welcum

Answer 23

I also think it's A. D would be true if all organisms had only two possible alleles for a gene which isn't the case(plants can have many more)

Answer 24

Well yes, that makes much more sense !
