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.

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.
