Answer:

Genotype

Step-by-step explanation:

The genotype is the genetic makeup that is responsible for a particular trait. Genotype is the combination of alleles that were inherited from the parents. Unlike phenotype, genotype is not observable, but it determines what trait will be physically expressed. For example, if Dimples (D) is dominant over no dimples (d) and a woman is heterozygous for dimples the genotype woud be:

Dd
