Understand that in genetics, the term 'phenotype' refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism.
Recognize that these traits result from the interaction between the organism's genetic makeup (genotype) and environmental factors.
Differentiate phenotype from genotype, where genotype is the genetic constitution, and phenotype is how those genes are expressed visibly or functionally.
Note that phenotype includes traits such as height, eye color, behavior, and biochemical properties that can be observed or measured.
Remember that phenotype is not just determined by genes alone but also by how the environment influences gene expression.
