Let's take a look first before we dive into this question at our two terms, genotype and phenotype.
00:09
Now you might notice immediately that if we break apart these words into their stems, we have genotype here, being made up of gene and type.
00:24
But phenotype doesn't appear as obvious.
00:28
I can tell you, however, that the stem phenotype comes from a greek word.
00:34
That means to show.
00:36
So here we have to show and type versus gene type.
00:44
And what that means more specifically in the world of heredity and genetics is that your genotype is the actual alleles, genes, what's on your chromosomes at the cellular and molecular level.
01:00
So in this case, you might have a gene that looks like this or like this.
01:06
So these are two alleles of the same gene...
