PHENOTYPE AND GENOTYPE. Definitions: phenotype is the constellation of observable traits; genotype is the genetic endowment of the individual. Phenotype = genotype + development (in a given environment). To consider these in the context of evolutionary biology, we want to know how these two are related.
Genotype vs Phenotype. Genotype and phenotype are terms used to differentiate between the genetic makeup of an organism and the way it expresses itself. There are interesting differences between the two terms.Letâs find out what they are: A genotype refers to the actual set of genes that an organism carries inside.. Genotype decides the genetics and inherited traits of an organism, but phenotypes refer to the actual display of these traits. 2. Genotypes are decided by inherited genes, while phenotype are determined by the effect of environmental factors. 3. The genotype largely determines the ultimate phenotype of an organism.
