its phenotype.
In genetics, phenotype refers to the observable traits or characteristics of an organism, such as its physical appearance, behavior, or physiological properties. It is the result of the interaction between an organism's genotype (its genetic makeup) and its environment.
Genotype, on the other hand, refers to the genetic information or alleles that an organism carries. It represents the specific combination of genes an organism possesses that determines its traits.
So, the correct answer is: Both are sets of alleles that define traits.
To understand how phenotype and genotype are related, it is important to consider how genes are expressed. The genotype of an organism, which is determined by its DNA sequence, provides the instructions to produce proteins and other molecules that contribute to the development of traits during an organism's growth and development. These proteins and molecules then interact with the organism's environment to produce the observable traits, which make up its phenotype.
In summary, an organism's genotype influences its phenotype by providing the instructions for the development of traits. The phenotype is the expression of these traits, which can be observed and studied.
