Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genotype refers to an individual's genetic makeup, which includes the genes inherited from both parents. The blue-eyed trait must have been present as a recessive gene in both parents' genotypes for it to manifest in their child's phenotype (physical appearance). Phenotype refers to an individual's observable characteristics, such as blue eyes. Archetype and biotype do not apply in this context.
