Genotype and Phenotypes→ Your physical appearance does not always tell you the traits you can pass
down to your future children
→ There needs to be a way for us to describe the difference between
appearance and genetic
Phenotypes: The physical description of your traits
Ex. earlobes and tongue rollers
Genotypes: Describes what traits you have

tongue
A) What is Mary’s phenotype?
- Mary cannot roll her tongue
B) What is Mary’s genotype?
E- can roll tongue
e- can’t roll tongue
