Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-008759
The observable characteristics or traits of an organism, resulting from the interaction between its genotype and the environment. These traits can include physical attributes, biochemical properties, or behavioral patterns. The phenotype is not directly inherited but is the expression of genetic information under specific conditions.
