Genotype and Phenotype

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The genotype is an organism's genetic inheritance; the phenotype is the observable characteristics it actually develops.

Show

Two people with the same height-related genotype reach different adult heights after different childhood nutrition.

Watch for

Phenotype is never read off genotype alone. The environment is part of the equation, not noise around it.
