Define the terms genotype and phenotype.
What will be an ideal response?
A person's genetic heritage-the actual genetic material-is his or her genotype. Not all of this genetic material is apparent in our observed and measurable characteristics. The way an individual's genotype is expressed in observed and measurable characteristics is called a phenotype. Phenotypes include physical traits, such as height, weight, eye color, and skin pigmentation, as well as psychological characteristics, such as intelligence, creativity, personality, and social tendencies. For each genotype, a range of phenotypes can be expressed.
