What is the difference between genotype and phenotype according to plant and give examples to each?

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, including all the genes and alleles that an organism possesses. It is the genetic information that determines the traits and characteristics of an organism. Phenotype, on the other hand, refers to the physical characteristics and traits that are actually expressed by an organism as a result of its genotype and the environment.

Example of genotype in plants: A plant may have the genotype for tall height (T) and green leaves (G), which means it carries the genes for these traits.

Example of phenotype in plants: The plant with the genotype for tall height (T) and green leaves (G) may actually grow to be tall and have green leaves, which are the physical characteristics expressed as a result of its genotype.
