Each phenotype is determined by its genetic make-up which is the genotype. As regard to the genetic sequences, the phenotypes will be provoked. For instance, when any cell get a mutation within its genetic sequence, that error will consequently provoke a disease.

The genotype is the genetic make up of a physical trait, i.e. a gene.

 

The phenotype is the physical characteristic itself.

 

For example, the blue eye-colour is a phenotype, the gene that encodes the blue colour is the genotype.

The genotype is the set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait. The phenotype is the physical expression, or characteristics, of that trait. For example, two organisms that have even the minutest difference in their genes are said to have different genotypes

The correlation between genotype and phenotype shows us the mutation in a group of similar mutation in a population. that traits physically abnormalities

The characters determined by the genotype of individuals determines the phenotype of same individual.

The presence of a certain mutation (genotype)and the effect of this mutation in the human is the phenotype

The correlation is that genotype reflects trait/phenotype, for example, gene sequence is ataa, encodes red hair trait, whereas atac encodes yello hair trait.

Genotype codes for phenotype. All physical parts thats is observable structure,behaviour ,  function by the instruction given by genetype

Thecorrelation between genotype and phenotype is a statistical relationship that predicts a physical trait in a person or abnormality in a patient with a given mutation or a group of similar mutations.

It is the association between the resulting physical trait,  pattern of abnormalities abnormality, which is called phenotype and the presence of a certain mutation or mutations i.e genotype.

The phenotype of a trait is the physical appearance; what can be seen. The phenotype is affected by environmental factors and genetic make up of the individual at the single or multiple trait loci.

Clinical phenotype like diabetes Mellitus is determined by many factors; non- genetic factors,  body mass index, lifestyle, exercise, diet, obesity, age, sex, insulin resistance and by genetic factors; the genetic make up at the single determining locus or interacting multiple loci.

the correlation between the genotype and phenotype is statistical testing of the association between the genotype and phenotype using the software specialized for that e.g SNP TEST .
