How can a genotype change a phenotype?

In: Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

The existence of [any and all] phenotypes directly results from the Expression of All of the Genes that are responsible for the physical implementation of that phenotype.

Most (see Wobble base pairs) changes in the genetic sequence of the organism's chromosomes - it's genotype - will also cause changes in it's phenotype.

Does a change in genotype always result in a change in phenotype?
No! Why just because it is does not! Accept it
Can your genotype change?
Not by natural means (scientifically, it is possible, but normally, you cannot change your genotype).
How can you have the same phenotype but different genotype?
Different genotypes don't always change your phenotypes because of mutations
How do you determine phenotypes if genotypes are given?
The phenotype is what the genes make the characteristics look like. For example, if EE is for large eyes, and ee is for small eyes, you can determine the phenotypes from these. If the genotype is EE...
If you have blue eyes are you a phenotype or genotype?
Blue eyes is an example of a phenotype. A genotype is the genetic code for a characteristic and a phenotype is the physical appearance of that characteristic. Blue eyes, brown hair, dark skin, and...
