Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The physical characteristics of an organism. (What you can see.)
A
Genotype
B
Phenotype
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
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: -(FEE-noh-tipe) The observable characteristics in an individual resulting from the expression of genes; the clinical presentation of an individual with a particular genotype.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A phenotype includes traits visible to the eye, such as height, eye and hair color, and so on. It also includes less obvious traits, such as metabolic rate and organ function. Phenotypes reflect a combination of genes and environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -With one locus and additive effects we have three phenotypic classes: AA, Aa and aa.
