<font color="blue">phe·no·type
The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, as determined by both genetic makeup and environmental influences.
The expression of a specific trait, such as stature or blood type, based on genetic and environmental influences.
<font color="green">An individual or group of organisms exhibiting a particular phenotype. </font></font>
