Detailed explanation-1: -An organism’s genotype is the set of genes that it carries. An organism’s phenotype is all of its observable characteristics-which are influenced both by its genotype and by the environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Environment Can Impact Phenotype Environmental factors such as diet, temperature, oxygen levels, humidity, light cycles, and the presence of mutagens can all impact which of an animal’s genes are expressed, which ultimately affects the animal’s phenotype.
Detailed explanation-3: -Phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an individual organism, determined by both genetic make-up and environmental influences, for example, height, weight and skin colour.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
