The way an organism looks as a result of its genes is called its phenotype.

Here's a breakdown:

* Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by the specific alleles (versions of genes) it possesses.

* Phenotype: The observable characteristics of an organism, including its physical appearance, behavior, and biochemical properties.

The phenotype is a result of the genotype interacting with the environment. For example, a plant's genotype might contain genes for tall height. But if it's grown in a nutrient-poor environment, it might not reach its full potential height.
