Answer:

Genotype codes for phenotype.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your genotype is your genetics.

Your phenotype is your appearance, for example, brown or blue eyes.

Say you have blue eyes, and it's a recessive trait, represented by b. Brown is a dominant trait, so it would be represented by B. Your genotype would be bb, because you wouldn't possess the dominant brown-eye gene. For further example:

BB = Brown

Bb = Brown

bb = Blue

Hope this helps you out! :)
