Dickey‚ 2010). 2. How does an organism’s genotype determine its phenotype? The genotype is the genetic makeup of a cell‚ an organism‚ or an individual‚ Where as a Phenotype is the composite of an organism ’s characteristics or traits: such as its morphology‚ development‚ biochemical or physiological properties‚ phrenology‚ behavior‚ and products of behavior (Simon‚ Reece‚ Dickey‚ 2010 an organism ’s phenotype is a physical description of a certain trait that organism carries.

The experiment also helps give a better understanding of genotypes and phenotypes and what role they play in determining and predicting a genotype.

The discovery of transposons‚ also known as “jumping genes” demonstrate how mutations may not be random because these genes that “jump” insert themselves into active genes to adapt and change to the environment. Whole sequences of DNA would move into active genes and they were not completely random because some genes would move to a certain part of the genome multiple times to have an advantageous effect. It is as if these genes deliberately wanted to be mutated in order to survive and adapt. These

\ Chapter 23 Reading guide 1. what is the smallest unit of evolution and why is this important to understand? The population is the smallest unit of evolution . This is important to understand because it keeps clear what is evolving. 2. Define the following terms: a. Microevolution: evolutionary change below the species level; change in the genetic makeup of a population from generation to generation. It is evolutionary change on its smallest scale b. Population: a localized group

and T is for thymine. 2. How does an organism’s genotype determine its phenotype? ➢ An organism’s genotype‚ its genetic makeup‚ is the sequence of nucleotide bases in its DNA. The phenotype‚ the organism’s physical traits‚ arises from the actions of a wide variety of proteins. The genotype is the descriptor of the genome which is the set of physical DNA molecules inherited from the organism’s parents. The phenotype is the descriptor of the phenome‚ the manifest physical properties of the
