Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phenotype is defined as an organism’s expressed physical traits.

Examples of an organism’s phenotype include traits such as color, height, size, shape, and behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -Traits are inherited characteristics from our parents that are expressed externally in our phenotype. For any given trait, one gene variation (allele) is received from the father and one from the mother. The expression of these alleles determines the phenotype, whether dominant or recessive.
