Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Directly observable characteristics are determined by an individual's genotype, which refers to the genetic information inherited from their parents. The genotype interacts with environmental factors over a person's lifetime to produce their observable traits, or phenotype. A karyotype is a visual display of an individual's chromosomes, while a gamete is a reproductive cell that contributes genetic material to the offspring.
