The look of an organism according to its genes is called as phenotype of an organism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The genetic makeup of an organism is usually called as the genotype whereas the physical morphological structure of an organism is termed as a phenotype of an organism. The phenotype usually depends upon the genotype of the organism; this genotype is not visible and hence cannot be known easily.

Whereas a phenotype is easily visible. To know the genotype of an organism the unknown organism should be crossed with a true breeding cross.
