The term "phenotype" refers to the observable traits or characteristics of an organism, resulting from the interaction of its genotype (genetic makeup) with the environment. In this case, the new mother is observing physical characteristics of her baby, such as her mother's chin, her spouse's hands, and her own skin tone, which are all part of the baby's phenotype. Selective advantage and adaptations refer to traits that provide an advantage for survival and reproduction, while the genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism.
