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 predominant current-day meaning of genotype is some relevant part of the DNA passed to the organism by its parents. The phenotype is the physical and behavioral traits of the organism, for example, size and shape, metabolic activities, and patterns of movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phenotype is an observable or identifiable trait that is coded for by the genotype. This could be biochemical or physical. Phenotypes are not completely defined by the genotype. Other factors such as the environment can affect the observable traits.

Detailed explanation-4: -Physical appearance resulting from genotype is called phenotype. The phenotype is what you observe from the genes expressing themselves. For example, if you see that your eyes are brown, you have genes that express the color brown for your eyes.

Detailed explanation-5: -With one locus and additive effects we have three phenotypic classes: AA, Aa and aa.
