Detailed explanation-3: -phenotype, all the observable characteristics of an organism that result from the interaction of its genotype (total genetic inheritance) with the environment. Examples of observable characteristics include behaviour, biochemical properties, colour, shape, and size.

Detailed explanation-4: -These pairs of genes then determine certain physical features or traits. 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: -With one locus and additive effects we have three phenotypic classes: AA, Aa and aa.
