Genotype-Phenotype Correlations

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 influence observable features such as eye color, height, or susceptibility to certain diseases. Understanding these correlations helps scientists predict how genetic differences can lead to variations in traits or health conditions. Essentially, it connects the blueprint in our genes to the way we look and function, aiding in diagnosis, personalized medicine, and understanding human diversity.
