Phenotype means the ______________________ of an individual.
Genetic makeup
Physical appearance
Recessive alleles
None of the above
Genetic makeup
Physical appearance
Recessive alleles
None of the above
Hint:
The collective term that is used to describe the height, weight, color, etc of an individual.
The correct answer is: Physical appearance
- Phenotype refers to the physical traits of an individual.
- The height, weight, color, blood groups are all examples of physical trait of an individual.
- Physical traits are due to the expression of genotype or the genes present in the DNA.
- The dominant trait only will be expressed as a phenotype.

In case of co-dominance:
- A, B and O are alleles responsible for blood groups.
- Neither of the allele is completely dominant over other.
- Example: For a person with AB blood group, the expression of both A and B alleles occurs.
