How do the terms genotype and phenotype relate?
An organism’s phenotype leads to its genotype.
Both are sets of alleles that define traits.
An organism’s genotype leads to its phenotype.
Both are terms for observable traits.

An organism's genotype leads to its phenotype. The genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism, which determines its physical characteristics, behavior, and other traits (phenotype). The genotype codes for the phenotype, and the phenotype is the result of the genotype interacting with the environment.
An organism’s genotype is
a trait that is expressed in a homozygous individual.
the set of alleles an organism has for a trait.
an observable trait.
an allele that is expressed whenever it is present.

The correct answer is: the set of alleles an organism has for a trait.
A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism, specifically the combination of alleles that an individual carries for a particular trait. It is not an observable trait, but rather the genetic information that determines the organism's traits. There is no scientific mistake in the response.
Genes have different forms, called
Genes have different forms called alleles. Alleles are different versions of a gene that can produce variations in traits within a population.
How are the plant height genotypes TT and Tt similar?
The plant height genotypes TT and Tt are similar in that they both contain the dominant allele for tall plant height. In this case, "T" represents the allele for tall plant height, and having either TT or Tt genotypes means that the plant will exhibit the tall phenotype. The difference between the two genotypes is that TT individuals are homozygous for the tall allele, while Tt individuals are heterozygous, meaning they carry one dominant allele and one recessive allele (usually denoted as "t" for short plant height).
How are the plant height genotypes TT and Tt similar?
Both are examples of heterozygous genotypes.
Both are expressed as a short phenotype.
Both are expressed as a tall phenotype.
Both are examples of homozygous genotypes.
