PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The observable traits expressed by an organism are referred to as its phenotype. An organism’s underlying genetic makeup, consisting of both physically visible and non-expressed alleles, is called its genotype.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -(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-4: -A genotype is a scoring of the type of variant present at a given location (i.e., a locus) in the genome. It can be represented by symbols. For example, BB, Bb, bb could be used to represent a given variant in a gene.
