Answer 2

A) The physical appearance of the organism

Step-by-step explanation:

In genetics, when we talk about phenotype, we refer to the expression of genes, this means what you can see most of the time but not always because it could be, for example, an enzyme.

It globes all character and physical traits.

The one that refers to the information on the DNA is the genotype.

For example, if we talk about a trait that made dog fur black or brown, we talk about recessive and dominant alleles, that's the genotype, and the phenotype will be the expression: black or brown.
