Generation

**Genotype** is the genetic makeup (DNA sequence/alleles) an organism inherits, while **phenotype** is the observable physical and biochemical characteristics that result from the interaction between genotype and environment. This distinction matters because identical genotypes can produce different phenotypes depending on environmental factors, and conversely, different genotypes can sometimes produce similar phenotypes. Understanding this relationship is crucial for fields like medicine (predicting disease risk vs. actual disease), agriculture (breeding programs), and evolutionary biology (natural selection acts on phenotypes, not genes directly).
