Summary Introduction

To Determine: The impact of genotype on phenotype.

Introduction: Genes are the nucleotide sequences on the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that express to form various proteins and factors. The different or variant forms of a gene are called alleles. Multiple alleles are formed from the wild-type alleles during the evolution of the organisms. This helped in the selection of fit species that can survive and reproduce further.
