HELP!!!!!!!!!!
What help do you need?
i need help understanding what a genotype and a phenotype is
@Frostbite can explain you..I think..
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.
So to recap: Genotype: The specific genes. Phenotype: What we can observe as a result of genes and environment.
@Ryaan and I think you already knew this ;)
