Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Human features like height, eye color, and hair color come in lots of slightly different forms because they are controlled by many genes, each of which contributes some amount to the overall phenotype.
