phenotype (:
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
The results in the offspring hinge on the genetic make up of the parents. Each expressed trait is either the result of a dominant or recessive phenotype. The relative dominance or recessiveness of the alleles doesn't change only the rate at which they are expressed based on the allele present for each obseerved trait in the parents.

Genotype is the alleles (different forms of a gene) which an individual has with respect to a particular characteristic. The Phenotype is how these genes are expressed in an individual.
Alleles are alternate versions of genes that code for certain phenotypes, or traits. The traits of an individual are a result of the interaction between their genotype (alleles) and the environment.
Two genes which govern the same characteristics are called alleles. Alleles located at the same locus on a chromosome pair determine phenotype (the expressed characteristic), at least in simple Mendelian genetics. Characteristics can also be controlled from two loci (epistatic/hypostatic) and from several loci (polygenic). There is space on the genome for 2 alleles for a certain characteristic. One is taken from each parent. For example, you might have one allele coding for black fur (B) and another for white (b). Alleles have different dominance so if the allele for black fur was dominant you have two allele combinations that would result in black fur: BB and Bb There is only one combination that could result in white fur: bb The less dominant allele is known as the recessive allele.
The results in the offspring hinge on the genetic make up of the parents. Each expressed trait is either the result of a dominant or recessive phenotype. The relative dominance or recessiveness of the alleles doesn't change only the rate at which they are expressed based on the allele present for each obseerved trait in the parents.
When genes are expressed, the result is called phenotype. What is actually in all the genes (some are recessive) is called the genotype.
Yes, both Aa and AA genotypes represent the dominant phenotype for a specific trait. The presence of at least one dominant allele (A) will result in the dominant phenotype being expressed.

Allele
An Aa genotype can result in the same phenotype as either an AA or AA genotype, if one of the alleles acts in a dominant fashion. If the A allele is dominant over the a allele, then the phenotype of a heterozygous (Aa) individual will be the same as the phenotype of a homozygous dominant (AA) individual.
