Answer:

the allele combination for a trait

Step-by-step explanation:

The genotype describes which alleles (versions) of a gene an organism has. Diploid organisms, such as humans, have two copies of each gene. Sometimes these alleles are the same and the individual is h0m0zygous for that gene. If they are different, the individual is heterozygous for that gene.

The physical appearance of a trait is the phenotype.
