Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genotype refers to the specific DNA base sequence inherited from an individual's parents, while phenotype refers to the physical, observable characteristics that result from the expression of this DNA sequence, often influenced by environmental factors. Specifically, phenotype is the product of which proteins are produced from that DNA sequence. Therefore, the relationship between genotype and phenotype is that genotype underlies and determines phenotype, just as DNA base sequences underlie and determine the proteins produced.
