- Mendelian Genetics Part No. 1 - Defining Key Vocabulary
Solving Mendelian genetics problems can seem somewhat daunting from the onset, especially with the vocabulary that is associated with them. Here we will define key terms that are used in genetics problems, but also, walk you through the proper steps needed...
- Genetic Terms
Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is the set of characteristic manifested by an organism. An individual has a heterozygous condition if he has 2 different alleles of the same gene An individual has a homozygous condition if...

What are Genotypes and Phenotypes? How do they relate to each other? A Genotype is the genetic make up or "internally coded, inheritable information" of a cell, organism or beings trait or set of traits. It is the complete amount of genes transmitted...

Definition
Phenotype is defined as the visible characteristics of an organism such as morphology, shape, color, biochemical or physiological properties and behaviour which are resulting from the interaction between the environment and genetic constitution.
