Summary Introduction
To explain: The meaning of “deduce the inheritance of these
Introduction: The phenotype is a physical trait expressed by a particular genotype, while genotype is a piece of genetic information that controls the production of a particular phenotype. Both phenotypes and genotypes of an organism are dependent on each other.
