The genotype is the type of gene (I.e blue eyes rather than brown eyes)

What do geneticists call alleles that are both expressed in the phenotype when they are together?

Genetic makeup formed from both inherited alleles together is called a genotype. Homozygous alleles would be a pair of identical alleles for a single trait. Heterozygous is different alleles for a single trait.


When can you accurately determine a person's genotype from their phenotype?

Yes you can accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype, however some phenotypic traits resulting from homozygous or heterozygous combinations of alleles, may make the prediction impossible.
