To anwser the question on what a phenotype is, It's the variation expressed in any living offspring, that have the same parents, kinda like if your sister has red hair and you don't.. There are some really good books on breeding, plus a ton of stuff online if you want to learn more.. It can get pretty complicated with all the poly-hybrids that are being interbred nowadays.. In most public school systems this was touched on in biology class, IMO it's way above most people at that age for it to have any real life application..:rastasmoke::rastasmoke:
Good answer but vague.

A phenotype is a plants observable traits, such as height, leaf color etc. The genetic contribution to the phenotype is called the genotype. Some traits are largely determined by the genotype, while other traits are largely determined by environmental factors.
