<span>Metabolism is the chemical reactions that take place inside a living organism. The reaction occurs in the cells.  Digestion can be the best association to metabolism. The metabolic system recognizes which substances can be nutritious or poisonous. In order to complete this process, water is needed.  The chemicals are dissolved in water and transported. Without water, no reaction can take place.</span>

Metabolism is considered as the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions within the living organism’s body cells.

Classify the following as A = genotype B = phenotype Use the letter A for genotype and the letter B for phenotype
Andrej [43]
The options aren’t there but here’s a few facts.
Genotypes are the alleles present in order to form a phenotype. A phenotype is the traits present based on the genotype or genetic code. For example, if you have two dominant alleles (which is a genotype)... let’s say C (as in the dominant allele stands for curly hair) Then if the genotype was CC or Cc the phenotype would be curly hair. If the genotype was cc than the phenotype would be straight hair.
