1. For the traits Mendel studied in pea plants, each trait, or phenotype, is expressed in only the dominant or recessive form, depending on the genotype. 2. In the ABO blood type system, there are six possible genotypes, but only two possible phenotypes. 3. Environmental conditions affect single-gene traits rarely, but affect polygenic traits often. 4.
