the previous answer is actually incorrect. The answer is that the female will appear to have a cleft chin.

Phenotype is the way a genotype (the letters) is expressed- it's what you're going to see. think flower color P= purple; p=white

genotype phenotype
PP- homo/dominant purple
Pp- heterozygous purple
pp-homo/recessive white

a good way to remember this is phenotype starts with "ph" like photo. it's what you see
genotype starts with "gen" like genetics- it's the actual genetic makeup.

Answer:

"Phenotype" would mean the two letter combination of traits that make up this trait. For example, heterozygous would be something like "Cc", with the "C" representing a dominant trait and "b" representing a recessive trait.

In this case, the answer would look something like "CC", though I'm not sure the exact letters this question is using. Good luck!
