Organisms which have similar external appearance with reference to a particular character are called.
A
Analogous
B
Homologous
C
Phenocopies
D
Phenotypes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Phenotypes. Organisms that have a similar external appearance with reference to a particular character are called Phenotypes. A phenotype is an individual’s observable traits, such as height, eye colour, and blood type.

Detailed explanation-2: -The term “phenotype” refers to the observable physical properties of an organism; these include the organism’s appearance, development, and behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Listen to pronunciation. (FEE-noh-tipe) 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: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
