If you read this, means I am talking to you. I do not like to talk about myself where nobody is listing to me. Thus, if you think; my lady that you are interested in what you saw, then do not hesitate to ask me! A phenotypic trait is an obvious and observable trait; it is the expression of genes in an observable way. An example of a phenotypic trait is hair color, there are underlying genes that control the hair color, which make up the genotype, but the actual hair color, the part we see, is the phenotype. The phenotype is the physical characteristics of the organism. The phenotype is controlled by the genetic make-up of the organism and the environmental pressures the organism is subject to.
