No, because many different genes can produce the same phenotype, and the same gene(s) can produce different phenotypes because of phenotypic plasticity. Genes do not work in a vacuum, the environment often has a good deal to do with the phenotype expressed.

First, no. Second, yes. Look in your book for examples.
