Genotype is the genetic material an organism inherits from its parents, whereas phenotype is the result of the interaction between the genotype and the environment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Affecting_Genotype_And_Phenotype\"><\/span>Factors Affecting Genotype And Phenotype<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many factors can affect the genotype and phenotype of an organism. The environment can play a role in both, as can the individual&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Genetic\">genetic<\/a> makeup. Additionally, the timing of environmental exposure can also be a determining factor.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genotype_In_Biology\"><\/span>Genotype In Biology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Therefore the genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. The genotype made up of the alleles of an organism. Alleles are the different forms of a gene.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_Genotype\"><\/span>Examples of Genotype<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are three types of genotypes: dominant, recessive, and codominant.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A dominant genotype is a genotype that expressed when only one allele is present. For example, the allele for hair color is dominant over the allele for no hair color. This means that a person with the dominant hair color allele will have hair, while a person with the recessive hair color allele will not have hair.<\/li>\n<li>A recessive genotype is a genotype that is expressed when two alleles are present. For example, the allele for blue eyes is recessive to the allele for brown eyes. This means that a person with two blue eye alleles will have blue eyes, while a person with one blue eye allele and one brown eye allele will have brown eyes.<\/li>\n<li>A codominant genotype is a genotype that is expressed when both alleles are present. For example, the allele for blood type A is codominant with the allele for blood type B. This means that a person with both the alleles for blood type A and B will have blood type AB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phenotype_In_Biology\"><\/span>Phenotype In Biology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, population, or individual. The phenotype includes the animal&#8217;s morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and behavior.<\/li>\n<li>A phenotype results from the interaction of the genotype with the environment. The phenotype of an organism may not be the same as the organism&#8217;s genotype, for example, a genotype may be homozygous for a recessive allele, but the phenotype may be heterozygous.<\/li>\n<li>The term phenotype includes all characteristics of an organism, including its development. For example, a baby&#8217;s phenotype includes not only its physical characteristics, but also its cognitive and behavioral characteristics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Examples_of_Phenotype\"><\/span>Examples of Phenotype<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A phenotype is the physical or observable characteristics of an organism. This includes the organism&#8217;s morphology, physiology, and behavior. Many different factors can influence phenotype, including the organism&#8217;s genes and the environment in which it lives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Genotype\"><\/span>Types of Genotype<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The two types of genotype are dominant and recessive.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A dominant genotype is a genetic profile that is expressed when just one copy of the gene is present.<\/li>\n<li>A recessive genotype is a genetic profile that is only expressed when two copies of the gene are present.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Strongest_Genotype\"><\/span>The Strongest Genotype<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The strongest genotype is the one that is the most resistant to disease.
