Genotype
The phenotype is the physical/observable trait of the animal - therefore the phenotype of this rabbit is black fur.The genotype, Bb, makes this rabbit heterozygous.
The mother is genotype AB, the father is either genotype BO or BB. If the father is genotype BO, the children can be genotype AB, AO, BB, or BO. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB, A, or B. If the father is genotype BB, the children can be genotype AB, AB, BB, or BB. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB or B.

This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB, A, or B. If the father is genotype BB, the children can be genotype AB, AB, BB, or BB. This results in children with phenotype blood types of: AB or B.
If both parents have the same phenotype, but the offspring did not share that phenotype, then it is likely that the parents have a dominant phenotype, but the offspring has a recessive phenotype, which means that the offpring's genotype would be homozygous recessive, and it's parents' genotypes would be heterozygous. For example, the parents may both have the genotype Bb, which gives them black fur. Approximately 25% of their offspring should have the genotype bb, which gives them the phenotype of white fur.
Genotype codes for phenotype. Phenotype is the expressed trait, for example, black fur. The genome that codes for black fur would be BB for example

This question is worded weird, because if someone had a dominant phenotype, as in Brown eyes dominant, than they would be BB or Bb. The exact genotype would need to have a key to what one of their parents' genotype was. Example: If a man with brown eyes (dominant) had a mom with blue eyes (recessive) then what would the man's genotype be? the answer would be Bb because that means that the man's dad would have BB and mom would be bb and when using punnent square, his genotype is Bb (only possible genotype is Bb)
The chance of a particular trait being inherited. For each trait there are several alleles, some are dominant and others recessive, for example brown eyes are dominant over blue. The recessive phenotype can only have a genotype with both recessive alleles eg. bb The dominant phenotype can have a genotype with both dominant alleles eg. BB or one of each eg. Bb A punnet square shows the likelihood of a phenotype being inherited from given genotypes, alleles etc... BB and Bb makes BB BB Bb Bb All offspring will have the dominant phenotype (BB or Bb) eg. brown eyes Bb and Bb makes BB Bb Bb bb One in four of the offspring will have the recessive phenotype (bb) eg. blue eyes
They are related to each other because...Genes and alleles are the traits inside an object, when using a punnet square, we take the genotype out of that object to make experiments.
A very easy way to remember these two terms is: phenotype is what you see and genotype is what is in the genes. You may have B blood type (what to see) but you could have BB or BO (what is in your genes.
