Genotype
Genotype: the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
It can be used to describe the alleles that an organism carries.
Humans have two alleles at a specific locus,
a specific, fixed position on a chromosome where a particular gene or genetic marker is located.
Each genotype of a gene is represented by those pairs of alleles.
Some examples of genotypes are DD, Dd, dd, Tt, tt, GG, and ff.
Phenotype
Phenotype: an individual's observable traits resulting from the genotype of that organism or environmental factors.
It refers to common traits, such as height, hair color, and skin color.
It can also refer to the absence or presence of a disease.
Phenotypes can be influenced by multiple genes.
There are almost always environmental influences. Some environmental influences include nutrition, exercise, stress, and climate.
