Detailed explanation-1: -The phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and expressed genes or by visible traits, for instance, hair colour or type, eye colour, body shape, and height. It depends on the genotype but is also influenced by environmental factors.
Detailed explanation-2: -An individual’s genotype is the combination of alleles that they possess for a specific gene. An individual’s phenotype is the combination of their observable characteristics or traits. While an organism’s genotype is directly inherited from its parents, phenotype is merely influenced by genotype.
Detailed explanation-3: -A person’s genotype is their unique sequence of DNA. More specifically, this term is used to refer to the two alleles a person has inherited for a particular gene. Phenotype is the detectable expression of this genotype – a patient’s clinical presentation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The phenotype just explains what it looks like. The genotype are the illegals that it contains.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
