1. Phenotypes that decide the decide the development plan of the body do not vary in a population of organisms. Example, the segmentation of the body (number of hands, legs, ears, eyes, etc.).

2. Phenotypes that vary in a population are the eye color, hair color, hair growth, body size, body build, cold tolerance, skin color, etc.

3. Most of the phenotypes have a genetic basis, example, the colorblindness trait that is X linked inherited. But some phenotypes vary epigenetically, e.g., differences in body features of twins.

4. Yes, environment influences the phenotypes. Twins have a genetically identical DNA yet they have minute differences in their skin color, eye color, body build, etc. Such differences arise when the environment differently affects the gene regulation within the body of the twins.

Part 1.Phenotype is the physical expression of a gene or the trait/characteristics in result of a gene or genotype.There are some phenotypes that don't vary in organism like the body plan, every one has same body plan like 2 hands, 2 legs, 1 nose, 2 eyes etc.The common structural and reproductive feature in species are examples of phenotypes that don't change in organisms.Part 2.Phenotypes that have many genotypic patterns like eye color, hair color, skin color etc have multiple alleles.Due to variation in alleles and a lot of number of alleles in one gene causes some phenotypic changes in different populations.Part 3.

According to the definition of phenotype, it is physical expression of a genotypes. Hence it is obvious that phenotype has genetic bases.

Instead different genotypes are the causes of different phenotypes in a population.Eye color is a phenotype which is the expression of eye color gene.Part 4.

Yes, environment influences the phenotype.

The best example of it is the identical twins.Identical twins have same genotype. But if we lives in Africa and other in America, their skin tone will differ due to environmental effect. High temperature of Africa leads to dark tone brother than America inhabitant brother.

In sweet pea, gene c is responsible for color production and gene p is responsible for the purple color pigment. both of them are located on two different loci on different chromosomes. the flowers will be purple only when the plant has the genotypes as c_p_. no color will be produced with genotypes: ccpp, ccpp, ccpp, ccpp. thus, gene c controls the expression of gene p. what pattern of inheritance is exhibited here? a. pleiotropy b. epistasis c. multiple alleles
