C
The combination of genes
D
All of the genetic information
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: -Explanation: Alleles that exhibit complete dominance will always be expressed in the the cell’s phenotype.

Detailed explanation-3: -The observable characteristics in an individual resulting from the expression of genes; the clinical presentation of an individual with a particular genotype.

Detailed explanation-4: -An organism’s phenotype results from two basic factors: the expression of an organism’s genetic code (its genotype) and the influence of environmental factors. Both factors may interact, further affecting the 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.
