Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of a genome: it is the complete set of genetic material (DNA) present in an organism.

Recognize that the genome contains all the information needed to build and maintain that organism, but it itself is not directly observable.

Recall that the manifestation of the genome refers to how the genetic information is expressed or observed in the organism.

Identify that the phenotype is the observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, which result from the expression of the genome.

Conclude that among the options, the phenotype best describes the manifestation of a genome because it is the visible or measurable outcome of the genetic information.
