Helpful?           0
The overt appearance and behavior of an organism, regardless of its genetic blueprint. See also genotype.
Helpful?           0

Helpful?           0
The aggregate of all the expressed properties of a cell, being the product of the interaction of the genotype with the regulatory environment.
Helpful?           0
An observable characteristic displayed by an organism. These characteristics can be controlled by genes, by the environment, or a combination of both. The characteristic can be directly observable, such as having brown eyes. In some cases, the phenotype will be measurable, such as having high blood pressure.

The distinguishable characteristic(s) of a genetically controlled trait.
Helpful?           0
