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.

Answer:

The two terms are often used at the same time to describe the same organism, but there is a difference between genotype and phenotype: An organism's genotype is the set of genes in its DNA responsiblefor a particular trait. An organism'sphenotype is the physical expression ofthose genes.

Explanation:

For example in genotype An organism's genotype is its specific combination of alleles for a given gene. So, for example, in the pea plants above, the possible genotypes for the flower-color gene were red-red, red-white, and white-white. The phenotype is the physical manifestation of an organism's allellic combination (genotype).

For example in phenotype Phenotype. Phenotype, all the observable characteristics of an organism that result from the interaction of its genotype (total genetic inheritance) with the environment.Examples of observable characteristics include behaviour, biochemical properties, colour, shape, and size.
