Phenotype and Genotype
There are two parts to this definition ...
PhenotypeThis is the “outward, physical manifestation“ of the organism. These are the physical parts, the sum of the atoms, molecules, macromolecules, cells, structures, metabolism, energy utilization, tissues, organs, reflexes and behaviors; anything that is part of the observable structure, function or behavior of a living organism.
GenotypeThis is 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. These instructions are found within almost all cells (the “internal“ part), they are written in a coded language (the genetic code), they are copied at the time of cell division or reproduction and are passed from one generation to the next (“inheritable“). These instructions are intimately involved with all aspects of the life of a cell or an organism. They control everything from the formation of protein macromolecules, to the regulation of metabolism and synthesis.
The relationship between the genotype and phenotype is a simple one ...
The Genotype codes for the Phenotype
The “internally coded, inheritable information“, or Genotype, carried by all living organisms, holds the critical instructions that are used and interpreted by the cellular machinary of the cells to produce the “outward, physical manifestation“, or Phenotype of the organism.
Thus, all the physical parts, the molecules, macromolecules, cells and other structures, are built and maintained by cells following the instructions give by the genotype. As these physical structures begin to act and interact with one another they can produce larger and more complex phenomena such as metabolism, energy utilization, tissues, organs, reflexes and behaviors; anything that is part of the observable structure, function or behavior of a living organism.
