Detailed explanation-1: -Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. it is often used to refer to a person’s genes for any specific trait. Genotype is coded in DNA and expressed, meaning that it is inherited from parents. Genotype is typically represented by 2 alleles, indicated by the presence of two letters.
Detailed explanation-2: -The genotype for a particular trait is usually represented by a letter, the capital letter (first letter of the dominant trait) representing the dominant gene and the lower-case letter (first letter) of the dominant trait) representing the recessive gene. TT represents a homozygous dominant genotype.
Detailed explanation-3: -The term “phenotype” refers to the observable physical properties of an organism; these include the organism’s appearance, development, and behavior. An organism’s phenotype is determined by its genotype, which is the set of genes the organism carries, as well as by environmental influences upon these genes.
