Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The physical appearance or the way a gene looks is known as it’s ____
A
genotype
B
allele
C
gene
D
phenotype
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phenotype refers to an individual’s observable traits, such as height, eye color and blood type. A person’s phenotype is determined by both their genomic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term “phenotype” refers to the observable physical properties of an organism; these include the organism’s appearance, development, and behavior. An organism’s phenotype is determined by its genotype, which is the set of genes the organism carries, as well as by environmental influences upon these genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The expression of genes in the physical appearance of the individual is called as phenotype. The collection of genes present in an individual’s body is called the genotype.

Detailed explanation-4: -The genes that you have in your body right now make up your genotype. This genotype then determines your physical appearance, which is called your phenotype.

Detailed explanation-5: -A person’s genotype is their unique sequence of DNA. More specifically, this term is used to refer to the two alleles a person has inherited for a particular gene. Phenotype is the detectable expression of this genotype – a patient’s clinical presentation.
