Background: Phenotype is how a genetic trait physically looks, while genotype is the trait expressed as two letters.

Example:

-The genotype is BB

-The phenotype is brown hair

-The genotype is bb

-The phenotype is blond hair

-The genotype is Bb

-The phenotype is a mixed light brown hair

Therefore:

Both phenotype and genotype are expressions of genetic traits, but the phenotype is the letter form, and the genotype is the physical appearance/description.
