PhenotypeThe physical properties (e.g., eye color, height, blood type) of an
organism.
Genotype is the largest influencing factor in the development of
phenotype.

(1) The detectable outward manifestations of a specific
genotype.
(2) The observable attributes of an
organism.
(3) The physical
characteristics of a living object.
