Best Answer

Genotype is the specific combination of genes that contribute to a trait that an organism has. (For example, the genes for being tall).

Phenotype is the expression of the trait which is partially influenced due to the genotype and partly by the environment (Even if you have the genes for being tall, if you are malnourished you will not grow as tall).

Phenotypes and alleles are very similar, although they are not the same. A phenotype is the entire physical makeup of a person, while an allele is the way one gene is expressed in an individual. Many alleles make up a persons phenotype. Hope this helped.

Does phenotype determine genotype?

It is a false statement that "phenotype determines genotype". In fact, it is the opposite. A genotype is the genetics or "instructions" that determine the phenotype. The phenotype is the actual appearance, ex: blue eyes, that is created by a given genotype.
