Genotype and Phenotype
The physical characteristic that can be observed in an organism, such as tallness or flower color.
What is a phenotype?
This kingdom includes multicellular organisms that make their own food through photosynthesis.
What is Plantae?
The three-domain system divides living organisms into this number of major groups.
What is three?
