Look at the distribution of male height for instance. The mean of this normal distribution is around 5' 10''. So that means about 69% of men are within one standard deviation of this mean. If you saw a sample of men standing on bleachers it would look exactly as a Bell curve looks; normally distributed.

YY is phenotype Yy is not yy is a phenotype
the appearance of an organism is it's phenotype
Phenotype is what it looks like (its observable characteristics, its orangeness), compared to the genotype, which is the actual genetic makeup. The phenotype of the orange would be its taste, juice content, sweetness, size, seed number, color, etc.
A phenotype is how genes manifest themselves - the characteristics you end up having. - So if you have one gene that gives you blue eyes and one gene that gives you brown eyes (if the browneye gene is dominant) the phenotype of your eyes will be brown.
A normal curve. A Bell curve.
You look at the offspring. Offspring of a heterogenous match are going to have different phenotype percentages than those of a homogenous match.
a phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genotype.

Phenotype and genotype traits don't always have to be the same. Phenotype is the physical characteristics and genotype is the genetic makeup. For example a pea plant can have the genotype of TT and look tall while another plant can have a genotype of Tt and also look tall (T= dominant trait; t= recessive trait.)
