Ans.An organism's phenotype is the physical expression of genes.
Phenotype is what we see - the visible or observable expression of the results of genes, combined with the environmental influence on an organism's appearance or behavior.
Everything from the shape of a bird's wing to the song of a humpback whale can be considered part of the phenotype.
Ex- TT,Tt or tt all represents genotype while expression of these genotypes is their phenotype I.e. , TT for tall, Tt for tall,tt for dwarf .
So phenotype is external appearance which can also be influenced by environment.
Similarly, eye color, skin color, height, shape and size of fruit or flowers, seed size,seed shape, all these represent phenotype.
