Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key terms: 'Allele', 'Phenotype', 'Genome', and 'Genotype'. Each of these terms relates to genetics and the traits of an organism.
Define 'Allele': An allele is a variant form of a gene. Different alleles can result in different traits, but they are not the collection of traits themselves.
Define 'Phenotype': The phenotype is the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties, and behavior.
Define 'Genome': The genome is the complete set of genes or genetic material present in a cell or organism. It includes all the information needed to build and maintain that organism.
Define 'Genotype': The genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism; it refers to the specific alleles present in an organism. It influences the phenotype but is not the phenotype itself.
