Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, including the specific alleles present in its DNA.
Phenotype refers to the physical characteristics and traits of an organism that result from its genotype and interactions with the environment.

Genotype
- The genetic makeup of an individual, consisting of all genes at all loci on their chromosomes.
- Describes the alleles present for a particular gene or set of genes.
- Can be homozygous (two identical alleles) or heterozygous (two different alleles).
- Examples: AA, Aa, bb
Phenotype
- The observable characteristics or traits of an individual, resulting from the interaction of their genotype with the environment.
- Includes physical traits (e.g., hair color, height), biochemical traits (e.g., blood type), and behavioral traits (e.g., intelligence, personality).
- Examples: Brown eyes, Tall, Intelligent
Relationship between Genotype and Phenotype
- Genotype determines the range of possible phenotypes for a given trait.
- Environment often influences the specific phenotype expressed within that range.
- For some traits, the genotype-phenotype relationship is simple and direct (e.g., dominant-recessive inheritance).
- For others, it is more complex, involving multiple genes and environmental interactions (e.g., polygenic traits, quantitative traits).
