Here's why:

* Phenotype: The observable characteristics of an organism, including its physical appearance, biochemical properties, and behavior. This is the result of an interaction between its genotype (its genetic makeup) and the environment.

For example:

* Eye color: Brown, blue, green eyes are all phenotypes.

* Height: Tallness or shortness is a phenotype.

* Disease resistance: Whether an organism is susceptible or resistant to a particular disease is a phenotype.
