Differentiate between an animal's phenotype and genotype

What will be an ideal response?


Phenotype, the physical appearance of an animal, such as color, size, or shape, can arise from the environmental conditions under which the animal was raised. Genotype is an animal's genetic makeup. Characteristics of individuals are controlled by the animal's genes that were passed on by its parents. By controlling the type of animals used as breeding animals, the producer may also control the genotype. The phenotype is what the producer is able to observe and is used in the selection process.
