Question

What are the alternative phenotypes referred to as?

Answer 1

Phenotypes:

1. In genetics, a phenotype is a set of observable phenotypic features or attributes of an organism.
2. The term is used to describe an organism's morphology, or physical shape and structure, as well as developmental stages, physiological and biochemical processes, actions, and behavioural consequences.
3. The phenotype of an organism is determined by the expression of its genetic code, or genotype, as well as the impact of environmental circumstances. Both of these factors can interact, increasing the influence of phenotypic features.
4. Polymorphism is the existence of two or more distinctly different morphs or forms in a population of a species, often known as alternative phenotypes.
