Which of the following describes a genotype?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
A double-recessive trait
Rationale:
🔵Genotype refers to an organism’s genetic makeup (allelic composition), such as homozygous recessive (aa).
🔵It is not the visible trait itself, which is the phenotype; instead, it codes for potential phenotypic expression.
🔵Describing a trait as double-recessive explicitly denotes the underlying alleles, aligning with the definition of genotype.
🔵Recognizing genotype is essential for predicting inheritance patterns and offspring ratios.
🔵This distinction underpins Mendelian analysis and molecular genetics interpretations.
