Phenotype
The expression of a specific trait in an individual (such as hair color) is determined by two factors,one from each parent. These factors are represented with an uppercase letter for a dominantfactor and a lowercase letter for a recessive factor. The combination of these factors determineshow that trait will be expressed in an individual.
A trait is a specific characteristic of an organism. Traits can be determined by genes or the environment, or more commonly by interactions between them. The genetic contribution to a trait is called the genotype. The outward expression of the genotype is called the phenotype.

Most of the traits expressed in a person's phenotype are determined by a combination of genetic factors (inherited from parents) and environmental influences (such as diet, lifestyle, and exposure to toxins). This interplay between genetics and environment is known as the nature vs. nurture debate and is key to understanding variations in human traits and behaviors.
No, the genotype of a person cannot be determined just by looking at them. Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an individual, which is not visible. Physical appearance is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

genotype
A healthy person's genotype refers to the specific genetic makeup they possess, determined by their alleles. Their phenotype, on the other hand, refers to the observable characteristics and traits resulting from the interaction of their genotype with the environment. In the case of a healthy individual, their genotype and phenotype would reflect a lack of harmful mutations or genetic disorders, leading to normal physical and physiological traits.
Genotype is determined by the combination of genes inherited from an individual's parents. Each gene has different variations called alleles, and the specific combination of alleles a person has for a particular gene determines their genotype. This combination is determined during the process of genetic inheritance, where one allele is inherited from each parent.
The genotype against the immediate environment and developmental processes. Each organism has a unique environment too. Think about it. Even identical twins are not totally their genotype because they are subject to not only the same environment, usually, but the unique experiences and formative processes of their unique environment.
