Phenotype in a sentence

The Extended Phenotype main The idea of the phenotype has been generalized by Richard Dawkins in The Extended Phenotype to mean all the effects a gene has on the outside world that may influence its chances of being replicated.

This means that a canalized phenotype may form from a large variety of different genotypes, in which case it is not possible to exactly predict the genotype from knowledge of the phenotype (i.e. the genotype–phenotype map is not invertible).

Females with recessive mutation crossed with wild-type males would yield the same phenotype as the wild-type, and any observable change to the phenotype would indicate that a mutation induced by the mutagen has occurred.

Natural selection acts on the phenotype, or the observable characteristics of an organism, but the genetic (heritable) basis of any phenotype that gives a reproductive advantage may become more common in a population (see allele frequency ).

Special classes *Conditional mutation is a mutation that has wild-type (or less severe) phenotype under certain "permissive" environmental conditions and a mutant phenotype under certain "restrictive" conditions.

Although this person would possess both a blue-eye gene and a brown-eye gene in their genotype, their phenotype may only acknowledge the dominant trait, making their eyes brown.

He believes that the limited funding and consideration his lab has received is largely due to the fact that his discovery does not involve an “inducible phenotype,” or a characteristic that could be activated.

To address these issues, the focus has shifted to exploring point-based detection methods, such as P2PNet, to accurately phenotype soybean pods and seeds in situ.

But, Smith said, don't overlook the value of phenotype and actual data.

T. R. Kelly et al, No, you go first: phenotype and social context affect house sparrow neophobia, DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.

Gariépy said that in October 2014, he solicited another donation from Epstein to finance his book The Revolutionary Phenotype.

In a phenotype-based preclinical screen of over 3500 compounds, EPX-100 was identified as a drug that abolished spontaneous seizures and convulsive behavior in a zebrafish model for Dravet Syndrome.

They have a language and phenotype similar to Turks and only became a part of China recently.

As a rule of thumb, think of the genotype as an organism’s genetic blueprint, and of the phenotype as the end product, with all the scratches, dents, and new coats of paint it got over its lifetime.

Texas Mount K002 is now four years of age and boasts an impressive phenotype, which is underpinned by sound structure, enormous body length, easy calving and produces progeny with very soft skin.

Then they used this formula, which they called a phenotype risk score (PheRS), to perform an unique excavation of anonymous electronic health records.

A consensus definition of the concept of epigenetic trait as "stably heritable phenotype resulting from changes in a chromosome without alterations in the DNA sequence" was formulated at a Cold Spring Harbor meeting in 2008.

After behaviour has changed radically, small but quick changes of the phenotype follow to make the organism fitter to its changed goals.

A homozygous dominant (AA) individual has a normal phenotype and no risk of abnormal offspring.
