One helpful strategy for remembering the difference between genotype and phenotype is to think of genotype as the "genetic recipe" or the genetic information that an organism carries in its DNA, while phenotype is the "physical outcome" or the observable characteristics that result from that genetic information. Another strategy is to remember that genotype is the genetic code, while phenotype is the actual physical expression of that code. Additionally, using mnemonic devices or visual aids can also be helpful in reinforcing the distinction between genotype and phenotype.
