The genotype is the combination of genes, for example, one inherited brown hair gene is a B (dominant), and one blond hair gene is a b (recessive). The possible genotypes in this example are BB, Bb, and bb.
A phenotype is the real-world description of the trait, so the phenotypes for the genotypes listed above would be, in order, brown, brown, and blond.
obviously, this is a simplified example. Possible phenotypes for hair color vary widely, and are ever natural color of hair possible: black, brown, light brown, blonde, red, strawberry blonde, etc.

Is haircolor a phenotype?
Yes, and no. It's the expression of a genotype for hair color.
What is the difference between genotype and genotype?
Phenotype is the physical Characteristic that you can see. The genotype is the genetic information (the genes) that code for the proteins that cause the phenotype. Relatively simple examples include eye, skin and hair color.
Is ears genotype or phenotype?
phenotype.
is Ss a genotype or a phenotype?
Phenotype
What is a physical expression of a genotype?
a physical expression of a genotype is called PHENOTYPE
Is hair a type genotype or a phenotype?
A phenotype. Phenotypes are observable, physical traits. Genotypes have to do with the genetic coding. Since hair type is visible, it is a phenotype.
How is genotype and phenotype compared?
Genotype is the allele combination and phenotype is the physical appearance of the result of the genotype. Genotype for tallness may be: Tt Phenotype example: Brown hair, blue eyes, widow's peak, etc.
Is a phenotype a organism?
The characteristics it obtains from its' phenotype (genetic material; DNA)For Example:AA (Genotype) codes for long hair (phenotype).
How are Genotype phenotype different?
Phenotypes are the traits expressed by the genotype. So, for blood type, a person can have A and i alleles (genotype). However, in the phenotype, since i is recessive, only the A will be expressed, and the person will have an A blood type.
What are an individual's observable traits called?
genotype or phenotype
Is haircolor a phenotype?
Yes, and no. It's the expression of a genotype for hair color.
What is the difference between genotype and genotype?
Phenotype is the physical Characteristic that you can see. The genotype is the genetic information (the genes) that code for the proteins that cause the phenotype. Relatively simple examples include eye, skin and hair color.
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
Does phenotype determine genotype?
It is a false statement that "phenotype determines genotype". In fact, it is the opposite. A genotype is the genetics or "instructions" that determine the phenotype. The phenotype is the actual appearance, ex: blue eyes, that is created by a given genotype.
Is ears genotype or phenotype?
phenotype.
is Ss a genotype or a phenotype?
Phenotype
What is a physical expression of a genotype?
a physical expression of a genotype is called PHENOTYPE
