Question

Distinguish between phenotype and genotype.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Phenotype is the PHyiscal trait e.g height, eye colour and blood type.

Genotype is the GENE of the trait or the alleles. E.g height; tall is T, short is t. these are the alleles that could make up the height.

Answer 2

A genotype refers to the genetic characteristics of an organism. A phenotype refers to the physical characteristics. For example, having blue eyes (an autosomal recessive trait) is a phenotype; lacking the gene for brown eyes is a genotype.
