  • Phenotype vs. Genotype: Understanding Observable Traits
    A physical trait of an organism is called a phenotype.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Phenotype: The observable characteristics of an organism, including its physical appearance, development, and behavior. These traits are a result of the interaction between its genotype and the environment.

    * Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism, consisting of its genes and alleles.

    For example, a person's eye color is a phenotype, while the specific genes responsible for that eye color are part of their genotype.
