Answer 3

@Frostbite can explain you..I think..

Answer 4

I sure can I just waited for you :)
Well genotype (from genome) is the specific alleles we contain.

The phenotype is what we can actually observe as characteristics. The phenotype thereby become the characteristics as a result of the genotype and environment.

Lets take an example:
We have two alleles A for brown (dominant) and a for blue.
The genotype I could have would be Aa. As A is dominant I would have brown eyes... so my phenotype is just A... we do not know from my phenotype if I have AA or Aa. That is if I am hetrozygote or homozygote.

Answer 5

So to recap:
Genotype: The specific genes.
Phenotype: What we can observe as a result of genes and environment.
