Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The manifestation of an organism’s genetic material in the form of specific traits is known as ____
A
gene expression
B
protein synthesis
C
DNA replication
D
mutation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -phenotype, all the observable characteristics of an organism that result from the interaction of its genotype (total genetic inheritance) with the environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Phenotype 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-3: -Gene expression is the process by which the information encoded in a gene is turned into a function. This mostly occurs via the transcription of RNA molecules that code for proteins or non-coding RNA molecules that serve other functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -A phenotypic trait is an obvious, observable, and measurable characteristic of an organism; it is the expression of genes in an observable way. An example of a phenotypic trait is a specific hair color or eye colour.

Detailed explanation-5: -The phenotype is the physical manifestation of an organism’s allellic combination (genotype).
