Question:
Why do we distinguish between an organism's phenotype and genotype?
Author: AMRIT KAURAnswer:
- An organism’s traits do not always reveal its genetic composition - Therefore, we distinguish between an organism’s phenotype (physical appearance) and its genotype (genetic makeup) - In the example of flower color in pea plants, PP and Pp plants have the same phenotype (purple) but different genotypes
