the phenotype is what you see like for example DD is the genotype and homozygous dominant is the phenotype. Another example is phenotype Heterozygous round eyes or in genetic form Rr. Phenotype means what you see and Genotype is the gene. I hope this answers your question

A person's phenotype, or visible traits, is inherited from their parents. They can look like their parents or not. It all depends on their genotype, or genetic makeup. If a female with blue eyes has children with a male that has heterozygous brown eyes and blue eyes is recessive, there would be a 50% chance the offspring would be blue-eyed and a 50% chance they would be heterozygous brown-eyed. You can use a Punnett Square to help you figure this out.

the genotypeThe genotype (genes) of an organism determines its phenotype (what it looks and acts like). The phenotype can also be slightly influenced by the organism's environment. For example, if a human inherits genes to be taller than average, but has poor nutrition as a child, he won't be as tall as his genes had coded.

A phenotype is what you see in a person: eye color, hair color, height, etc. Genotype is what genes a person has including one that are not expressed (seen).
