Detailed explanation-1: -Genotype and phenotype are two different concepts but are closely related to each other. Phenotype refers to the physical traits that are observed in an organism which are the outcome of the expression of the genes of an individual. The genotype determines the phenotype of an individual.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the relationships between genotype & phenotype? Genotype refers to the alleles you possess for a particular gene or set of genes. Phenotype is the physical trait itself, which may be influenced by genotype and environmental factors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Natural selection works on the phenotype of an organism because this is what interacts with the environment. The phenotype is the observable traits and physical qualities that help an organism survive in the environment. The genotype controls the phenotype by expressing proteins that create the observable traits.
