Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many physical traits like hair color and texture, eye color, and skin color are determined by the genotypes that parents pass down to their children. In one sense, the term “genotype”-like the term “genome”-refers to the entire set of genes in the cells of an organism.
