All organisms look like the result (are an expression) of their genetic inheritance.
it relates to the phenotype A phenotype is how the organism looks based on which genes are expressed. A genotype is how the organism is genetically structured, including recessive genes that are not apparent when looking at the organism. Some diseases, like colorblindness, are recessive and are only expressed when there is not a dominant gene to override it. The entire genetic makeup of an animal is its genome.
DNA, which looks like an hour glass.
Hox genes in mice and fruit flies are expressed similarly in that the genes themselves are similar enough to trade places and still function. The genes are expressed different because although you can switch the genes around, the outcome will result in the improper physical characteristic.
predict what a person would or could look like inside and out,and genes can tell a cell how to make proteins. Roughly speaking, each gene is a set of instructions for making one specific protein.
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 phenotype is the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genotype.
the genotypeThe genotype (genes) of an organism determines its phenotype (what it looks and acts like). The phenotype can also be slightly influenced by the organism's environment. For example, if a human inherits genes to be taller than average, but has poor nutrition as a child, he won't be as tall as his genes had coded.

For the sake of simplicity the discussion here will be of mendellian genetics. The way an animal looks (phenotype) may only represent a portion of it's genotype since dominant traits mask the expression of recessive ones. Behavior is not explained by genetics in many cases...the more complex the organism the more likely behavioral nuance is affected by elements beyond genetics.
All I think you would need to know at this point is that the genotype is the genetic makeup or background of an organism and the phenotype is what the organism looks like physically. An easy way to remember this is that the genotype is the genes.
An organism with two like alleles for a trait is homozygous for that trait.
