Genotype is the blueprint (e.g. blue and minivan)
Phenotype is what you see (e.g. a blue minivan)
Note that even though you have the gene for something does not mean you will get that particular phenotype. The gene may not be activated at all.

Compare and contrast genotype and phenotype?
An organism's genotype is its genetic identity. The genotype is comprised of all the genetic material inherited from both parents. The genotype is what "tells" each individual cell how to function. The phenotype is the physical expression of an organism's genotype. For example, if a person's genotype for eye color is one dominant allele for brown and one recessive for blue, then the individual's phenotype would be their actual eye color which in this case would be brown.
Is ears genotype or phenotype?
phenotype.
is Ss a genotype or a phenotype?
Phenotype
What is a physical expression of a genotype?
a physical expression of a genotype is called PHENOTYPE
2 What is the biological relationship between genotype and phenotype?
The genotype is what is responsible for the observed phenotype.

What are an individual's observable traits called?
genotype or phenotype
Do mutations affect phenotype or genotype?
genotype always...phenotype sometimes
Does phenotype determine genotype?
It is a false statement that "phenotype determines genotype". In fact, it is the opposite. A genotype is the genetics or "instructions" that determine the phenotype. The phenotype is the actual appearance, ex: blue eyes, that is created by a given genotype.
Is ears genotype or phenotype?
phenotype.
is Ss a genotype or a phenotype?
Phenotype
What is a physical expression of a genotype?
a physical expression of a genotype is called PHENOTYPE
How is phenotype different from genotype?
The genotype is the genetic makeup on the other hand phenotype is the outcome or expression of that particular genotype.
How phenotype and genotype relate?
Genotype and phenotype are to words that are not related. Genotype refers to classification by comparing genetics. Phenotype refers to classification according to the appearance of an organism.
2 What is the biological relationship between genotype and phenotype?
The genotype is what is responsible for the observed phenotype.
When can the phenotype tell you genotype of a trait?
The phenotype can tell the genotype when the characteristic is recessive and is displayed in the individual.
Can you accurately determine an organisms genotype by observing it's phenotype?
No, genotype actually determines phenotype.
