Wilhelm Johannsen was a Danish botanist and geneticist known for coining the terms "gene," "genotype," and "phenotype." He emphasized the distinction between the genetic makeup of an organism (genotype) and its observable traits (phenotype). Johannsen's work laid the foundation for modern genetics, particularly in understanding how traits are inherited and expressed in living organisms. His research contributed significantly to the field of heredity and the development of evolutionary theory.

Wilhelm Johannsen is known for introducing the term "gene" to describe the hereditary units responsible for controlling biological traits. He also proposed the distinction between genotype (genetic makeup) and phenotype (observable traits), which became fundamental concepts in genetics and evolutionary biology. Johannsen's work laid the foundation for modern understanding of how genetic information is inherited and expressed in organisms.
