  • Phenotype: Understanding Observable Traits & Genotype
    The way an organism looks regardless of its type alleles is referred to as its phenotype.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by the combination of alleles it possesses.

    * Phenotype: The observable characteristics of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.

    For example, a person with the genotype "BB" for eye color will have brown eyes (phenotype), while a person with the genotype "bb" will have blue eyes. Both individuals have different genotypes, but the same phenotype (eye color) could be expressed.
