Describe the difference between genotype and phenotype and give an example of where two different genetoypes may give rise to the same phenotype.
A genotype refers to the combination of alleles present that give rise to a certain characteristic.A phenotype refers to the actual physical characteristic as it is seen.An example would be whereby a flower has the genotype of one allele for white petals and one allele for red petals. As the red allele is dominant, the phenotype would be red petals.
