An organism's physical appearance is its phenotype. This is distinct from its genetic makeup, called its genotype.
False. An organisms physical appearance is its phenotype.
Genotype
The physical appearance of an organism is called a "Phenotype", while an organisms genetic makeup is called a "Genotype"
Mutations in an organisms' DNA alter its physical appearance
False. An organisms physical appearance is its phenotype.
Do you mean the phenotype?The phenotype is not only the organisms appearance but also the organisms behavior.
An organism's physical appearance is called its phenotype. The phenotype is determined by the interaction of its genetic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors. This can include traits such as size, shape, color, and other observable characteristics.
A specimen of organisms that are similar in appearance and behavior is called a population. They often share genetic traits, physical characteristics, and behavioral patterns due to their common ancestry and environmental influences.

Organisms are classified by domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, Genus, and species. Their scientific name is composed of their Genus and species.They are categorized by their DNA, and physical appearance.

Biologists do not use physical appearance alone to classify organisms. They also do not use common names, as these can be misleading and vary between regions. Additionally, biologists do not use a single characteristic or trait to classify organisms because diversity among species can make this method unreliable.
