Phenoype is the expression of the genome. RNA, proteins and enzymes are produced by genes (as templates), which are regulated by other genes as an operating system that schedules programs' executions.
These proteins and enzymes are like building blocks and moving parts of cells. Alone or combined in structures with or without RNA as well, they constitute several kinds of biological machines inside cells, participate in cell to cell communication, etc. It's much like a massively parallel supercomputer running millions of different programs interacting to produce the ultimate game: life.
OR WE CAN ALSO EXPLAIN IT AS
PPHENOTYPE is the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
PHENOTYPE is a description of your actual physical characteristics. This includes straightforward visible characteristics like your height and eye color, but also your overall health, your disease history, and even your behavior and general disposition. Do you gain weight easily? Are you anxious or calm? Do you like cats? These are all ways in which you present yourself to the world, and as such are considered phenotypes. However, not all phenotypes are a direct result of your genotype; chances are that your personal disposition to cats is the result of your life’s experience with pets rather than a mutation in a hypothetical cat fancier gene.
Most phenotypes are influenced by both your genotype and by the unique circumstances in which you have lived your life, including everything that has ever happened to you. We often refer to these two inputs as “nature,” the unique genome you carry, and “nurture,” the environment in which you have lived your life.
