phenotypic
Outwardly visible traits
Phenotypic describes traits or characteristics that are observable in an organism—its physical appearance, behavior, or measurable features as distinguished from its underlying genetic code.
A phenotypic trait like eye color or height results from the interaction between genes and environment.
The phenotypic differences between the twins were subtle despite their identical DNA.
