Phenotype is the physical appearance
Genotype is the traits in letters.

lets say green eyes...
having the gene GG, Gg, except gg will yield green eyes
so, if you see someone with green eyes, he/she must either have two dominant trait or 1 dominant and 1 recessive trait. Since you gave to us that an organism expresses a recessive phenotype, you can automatically tell that the person will have 1 dominant and 1 recessive, or Gg.

However, if that is not given, you wont be able to tell the genotype based on looking at a person.

andrew-mc [135]

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia or the CLL  is among the most common type of leukemia affecting the adults. The lymphocytic leukemia starts in the lymphocytes. Lymphocytic leukemia is different from the lymphoma (which also occur in the lymphocytes) as it only occurs in the bone marrow and the blood. The person suffering from CLL is susceptible to an array of infections. Among the various infectious agents, the CLL patient is the most susceptible to the Staphylococcus aureus. This agent causes skin infections, pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome and many other life threatening diseases. The person becomes susceptible to its attack as the immunity of his is weakened beacuse of the damage to the lymphoctic cells.
