Here's why:
* Genotype: This refers to the specific set of genes you carry. It's the genetic blueprint you inherited, containing all the instructions for building and maintaining your body.
* Phenotype: This is the observable characteristics or traits that result from your genotype. This includes things like your eye color, height, and susceptibility to certain diseases.
So, your genotype is the underlying code, while your phenotype is the visible expression of that code.
