Role of genotype study in genetics

The study of ______ plants by ______ demonstrated how alleles determine flower color.

In pea plants, the ______ allele is dominant over the ______ allele, resulting in purple flowers.

Pea plants with the genotype ______ or ______ will have purple flowers, while the genotype ______ results in white flowers.

The flower color in pea plants is an example of how a single trait can be influenced by multiple genotypes, like ______ for purple and ______ for white.

Impact of SNPs on health

Function of SNPs in genetic research

If every individual with a certain genotype shows the expected traits, it is known as ______ penetrance.

______ penetrance occurs when only some individuals express the genotype in their phenotype.
