- Phenotype - Wikipedia
In genetics, the phenotype (from Ancient Greek φαίνω (phaínō) 'to appear, show' and τύπος (túpos) 'mark, type') is the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism [1][2] The term covers the organism's morphology (physical form and structure), its developmental processes, its biochemical and physiological properties, and its behav
- PHENOTYPE Definition Meaning - Merriam-Webster
Phenotype is how that DNA physically manifests itself—in this case, as the susceptibility to disease, or the progression of disease, or the susceptibility of the disease itself to treatment, all of which likely have a genetic component Gary Taubes … a mild disorder whose clinical phenotype overlaps with that of the Marfan syndrome …
- Genotype vs Phenotype – Definitions and Examples
In genetics, the genotype and phenotype are two ways of describing an organism’s traits The genotype is the genetic code, while the phenotype is the physical expression of a trait Here is a closer look at what genotype and phenotype are, with examples

The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic makeup and environmental influences b The expression of a specific trait, such as stature or blood type, based on genetic and environmental influences 2 An individual or group of organisms exhibiting a particular phenotype
- Phenotype - Definition and Examples - Biology Dictionary
A phenotype is the physical expression of DNA In contrast, the genotype is the chemical makeup of DNA that causes a particular phenotype DNA is first transposed into RNA, a slightly different information molecule, which can then be translated into a protein Phenotypes are caused by the interactions of the many different proteins created by DNA

Phenotypic traits can provide clues about an organism’s underlying genetic composition, even if the specific genes aren’t yet identified Basis for Evolutionary Selection: Phenotypic variations are the foundation for natural selection Organisms with advantageous phenotypes are more likely to survive and reproduce, driving evolutionary change
