Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Physical characteristics of an organism
A
Polygenic trait
B
Genetics
C
Incomplete dominance
D
Phenotype
Explanation: 

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: -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-3: -Phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism. Hair colour and eye colour are all phenotypic characters of organisms. The genetic makeup of an organism is called genotype.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -In humans, phenotype examples include earwax type, height, blood type, eye color, freckles, and hair color.
