In actual fact, the correspondence between genotype-germplasm and phenotype-soma is super- ficial if not misleading. Like the germplasm, the genotype is assumed to be shielded from external influences. However, the genotype–phenotype distinction does not depend on a model of differentiation—it ...
What does HLA phenotype mean?Phenotype :Phenotypes are a set of characteristics that are observable in an individual that result from interaction with the environment. They are visible traits such as eye color, height, and blood type. Environmental factors and genetics can determine the traits....
What is broad autism phenotype? Phenotype: A phenotype is a set of observable characteristics that are the result of both genetic and environmental factors. The environment can affect the phenotypic expression, so it's essential to understand that a phenotype can change over time. These characterist...

In terms of structural adaptations, the emperor penguins have tails that are short and stiff enough to serve as a prop while they balance on their heels. This standing position minimizes how much heat is lost from their feet while standing on the snow and ice. Additionally, the bicolor patter...
Biology is rarely so completely neat and tidy, though.Sexual dimorphism(i.e. being able to divide a species into two sexes by their physiological characteristics) does not mean that male and female bodies are “opposites”. Rather, it’s a bit more like biological sex is on a continuum. ...
Recessive mutations lead to a loss of function, which is masked if a normal copy of the gene is present. For the mutant phenotype to occur, both alleles must carry the mutation. Dominant mutations lead to a mutant phenotype in the presence of a normal copy of the gene. Are null alleles...
At the phenotypic level, leaf initiation is recognized by the appearance of a bulge at sites on the periphery of the SAM whereKNOX1repression and auxin maxima occur (Figure3A). Immediately after primordial initiation, determinate cells are induced to change division pattern along three axes: proxim...
This paper presents an account of the nature of stem cells based on the philosophical concept of disposition. It is argued that stem cells can be conceived
In some of the inherited alterations, variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance can increase the uncertainty regarding the clinical significance for the patient and the recurrence risk of the phenotype. It is impor- tant to note that some VUS results, such as the 1q21.1 deletion, have been...
