Solution

The correct answer is "Genotype is its genetic makeup; phenotype is what it looks like".

The genotype of an organism is the set of genes in its DNA responsible for a particular trait. It's essentially the organism's full hereditary information.

On the other hand, phenotype is the physical expression, or characteristics, of that trait. It's how the genotype is expressed. This can include physical traits such as height and color, as well as behavioral traits and susceptibility to certain diseases.
