    Genotype vs allele: All you need to know

    Genotype refers to the score assigned to the specific variant at a certain locus in the genome. It lends itself to symbolic representation. A gene variant might be represented, for instance, as BB, Bb, bb. The precise DNA sequence at a certain location—CC, CT, or TT—can also stand in for a genotype. Genotypes at millions

    How Multiple Alleles Shape Phenotypic Traits

    The connection between genes and traits is one of the most basic concepts in genetics, but often it is more complicated than the simple Mendelian inheritance patterns that many of us learn about first. One way this complexity arises is through having multiple alleles for a single gene. This can significantly affect the phenotypic traits
