Here's a breakdown:
* Genotype: The genetic makeup of an individual, represented by the combination of alleles (different versions of a gene) they possess.
* Phenotype: The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an individual, resulting from the interaction of their genotype with the environment.
For example, a person might have the genotype "Bb" for eye color, where "B" represents the brown eye allele and "b" represents the blue eye allele. Their phenotype would be brown eyes because the brown eye allele is dominant.
