Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Any observable trait is the individual’s
A
genetics
B
genes
C
genotype
D
phenotype
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phenotype refers to an individual’s observable traits, such as height, eye color and blood type. A person’s phenotype is determined by both their genomic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Agenotypeis the genetic makeup of an individual organism. Biologists use the term genotype to distinguish from phenotype, which consists of the observable characteristics of an organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -With one locus and additive effects we have three phenotypic classes: AA, Aa and aa.

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.
