genotype-phenotype correlation

Genotype-phenotype correlation refers to the relationship between an individual's genetic makeup (genotype) and their physical traits or characteristics (phenotype). It explains how specific genes or gene variations influence observable features like eye color, height, or susceptibility to certain diseases. Understanding this connection helps scientists predict how genetic differences can lead to different traits or health conditions among people. Essentially, it links the code in our DNA to the physical and functional traits we see and experience.
