Genotype and Phenotype




Phenotype:
                The outward physical manifestation of the organism. These are the physical parts, the sum of the atoms, molecules, macromolecules, cells, structure, metabolism, energy utilization, tissues, organs, reflexes, and behavior; anything that is part of the observable structure, function or behavior of a living organism.

Genotype:
               the internally coded, inheritable information, carried by all living organisms. This stored information is used as a ''blueprint'' or set of instructions for building and maintaining a living creature. This instructions are found with almost all cells the (internal part) they are written in a code language (the genetic code), they are copied at the time of cell division or reproduction and are passed from one gene generation to the next ('' Inheritable''). This instructions are intimately involved with all aspects of the life of a cell or an organism.They control everything from the formation of the protein macromolecules, to the regulation of the metabolism and synthesis.



Relationship




                                     The  Genotype codes for the Phenotype

The internally coded, inheritable information, or Genotype, carried by all organism. holds the criterial instructions that are used and interpreted by the cellular machinery of the cell to produce the (''outward'', physical manifestation) or phenotype of the organism. Thus, all the physical parts, the molecules, macromolecules, cells and others structures, are built and maintained by cells following the instructions given by the genotype. As these physical structure being to act and interact with one another they can produce larger and more complex phenomena such as metabolism, energy utilization, tissues, orgasm, reflexes and behavior; anything that is part of the observable structure, function or behavior of a living organism. For example, genetics traits;
