  2. Behaviour, biological features, color, form, and size are a few examples of visible traits.
  3. The physical representation of an organism's allelic combination is called a phenotype.

Genotype:

  1. The genotype of an organism is the particular arrangement of alleles for a particular gene.
  2. As an illustration, the genotypes for the flower-color gene in the pea plants above were red-red, red-white, and white-white.

Blonde hair phenotype:
