Here the relation between genotype and phenotype is illustrated, using a Punnett square, for the character of petal colour in a pea plant. The letters B and b represent genes for colour and the pictures show the resultant flowers. The genotype is the part (DNA sequence) of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines a specific characteristic (phenotype) of that cell/organism/individual.
To summarize, two things determine the traits an organism has: its genotype and the dominance or recessiveness of the alleles it has. Some traits, like flower color in peas, are controlled by a single gene, but ultimately many if not most traits in an organism are controlled by more than one gene.enotype refers to the genes an organism inherits from its parents and phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism: how it develops, looks, reacts and behaves.
