genotype refers to the set of alleles. phenotype refers to how the characteristics manifest themselves.
e.g
phenotype- blue eyes
genotype- bb
a example of a gene
For example: The sex of sea turtles relies on the temperature of the environment. In cooler temperatures the egg matures to a male, in warmer temperatures the egg matures into a female.
The simplest way that two plants can have different genotypes, but the same phenotype, is if they both have a dominant allele for the same trait. For example, the genotypes Pp and PP, will both produce the phenotype created by P (for example, pink coloured petals). This is because P is dominant to p, and will always be expressed. Other ways that the same phenotype can be created from different genotypes are when the environment affects the traits, or when the trait is controlled by more than one gene.
A trait that exhibits incomplete dominance, is one in which the heterozygous offspring will have a phenotype that is a blend between the two parent organisms. An example of this is when a homozygous red sweet pea flower crossed with a homozygous white sweet pea flower, their offspring will be heterozygous and have the pink phenotype, rather than either red or white.
Very small. Microscopic, in fact. But with a microscope and some proper staining techniques, they are quite varied in shape and size, for example.
Genotype codes for phenotype. Phenotype is the expressed trait, for example, black fur. The genome that codes for black fur would be BB for example
The phenotype is a physical characteristic that is expressed by the genes. ----- An example of a phenotype is human blood group.

A phenotype.
A trait that exhibits incomplete dominance, is one in which the heterozygous offspring will have a phenotype that is a blend between the two parent organisms. An example of this is when a homozygous red sweet pea flower crossed with a homozygous white sweet pea flower, their offspring will be heterozygous and have the pink phenotype, rather than either red or white.
Phenotype variation is slight variations in a phenotype that are caused by the expression of an organism's genes or the influence of environmental factors. A species can have several different phenotypes within it.
B) that a harmful phenotype may become an advantageous phenotype when the environment changes
Very small. Microscopic, in fact. But with a microscope and some proper staining techniques, they are quite varied in shape and size, for example.
Phenotype
Phenotype is what traits are expressed by the organism. So what ever is the dominant Genotype of the organism will determine the Phenotype. For example a dominant R gene will be the Phenotype in RR and Rr. However, if the organism has two recessive rr then the recessive gene will determine the Phenotype.
