Question

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Two heterozygous individuals-

Aa X Aa

	A	a
A	AA	Aa
a	Aa	aa

Thus the probability of getting a disease is 1/4 and the probability of being normal is 3/4.
