• The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
• Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
• Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
• Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
• One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
• On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
• Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
• It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.
