Phenotype is the morphologically observable character which is the result of gene products brought to expression in a given environment. For example, phenotypically tall plant may be genotypically Tt or TT. Genotype is the gene complement or genetic constitution of an individual. For example, genotype of hybrid tall plant is Tt, homozygous tall plant is TT and recessive dwarf plant is tt.
