Genotype and phenotype represent very real differences between genetic composition and expressed form. The genotype is a group of genetic markers that describes the particular forms or variations of genes (alleles) carried by an individual. Accordingly, an individual's genotype includes all the alleles carried by that individual. An individual's genotype, because it includes all of the various alleles carried, determines the range of traits possible (e.g., a individual's potential to be afflicted with a particular disease). In contrast to the possibilities contained within the genotype, the phenotype reflects the manifest expression of those possibilities (potentialities). Phenotypic traits include obvious observable traits as height, weight,eye color, hair color, etc. The presence or absence of a disease, or symptoms related to a particular disease state, is also a phenotypic trait.

How is phenotype different from genotype?
The genotype is the genetic makeup on the other hand phenotype is the outcome or expression of that particular genotype.

Why is a persons phenotype harder to predict than a persons genotype?
Because peoples appearances changes as their body changes.
What statement would mostly clearly refer to a persons genotype?

What is a genetic makeup of an organism?
Genotype
The genes that make each individual unique are?
The genes that make each individual unique are filed into a persons phenotype and genotype. These traits are different from those around them.

Can you determine a persons genotype based on phenotype?
In some cases but not others. Certain alleles can be dominant, which means that they will dictate the phenotype should there be a clash of alleles in the genotype. Other alleles can be recessive, which means you'd need both of these alleles in these genotype in order for it to dictate the phenotype. This means that if a person's phenotype represents a dominant trait, we cannot be certain what their genotype is. If, however, it represents a recessive trait, we know that their genotype must be the recessive allele twice.
