How are a genotype and phenotype different?
Genotype are the alleles (genes) and phenotype is the physical characteristics.

This type of evolution is when two organisms evolve similar structures independently of each other.
Convergent evolution
400

A non-native species that could potentially be harmful to an ecosystem.

Invasive species

What is codominance?
When neither trait is dominant or recessive; both traits are expressed in the phenotype
