How do genotype and phenotype relate to each other?
Would the following answer be sufficient?
Phenotype is the the outward physical manifestation of genotype
(internally coded, inheritable, information).

yes thats right the genotype determines the phenotype

Your answer would be correct. However, phenotype doesn't have to be outward. Many phenotypes cannot be seen.
Genotype is the combination of alleles an individual has. The genotype determines the form of the trait the individual has: physical characteristic or behavior.

An organism's phenotype represents the expression in appearance or function of its genotype or genetic make-up. Phenotype is NOT just outward appearance. It is everything from your guts and blood type to whether or not you can roll your tongue! Yes this information is coded and inheritable, but it is for everything your genes code for, not just the outward physical appearance. Hope this helps!

how to differentiate easier:
genotypes are the letter representation of a trait
phenotype are the appearance of the genotypes
example:
genotypes - phenotypes
L - Long
l - short
the first letter of the dominant trait is often used to symbolize the phenotypes.
how to make it clear:
NASA-genotype
phenotype- National Aeronautics and space administration
FBI- genotype
phenotype- Federal blah blah of investigation
just like that, genotypes are the symbols phenotypes are the meaning
T-Tall t-short
C-curly c-straight
hope i help u, im a sophomore student, i just love genetics!

Yeah that's about right. Or simply, phenotype is the characteristic, and genotype is the genetic combination that is responsible for that particular characteristic.

A chlorinated pool is terrific, yet even getting your hair moist on the sea coast or with a sprig bottle and letting it dry certainly interior the sunlight will make a considerable distinction via the top of the summer season. Repeat as quickly as that's getting dry lower back.

that's perfect,
for example IoIo(I for immunoglobulin) is the genotype for blood grp O which is the physical manifestation of the same.
