Which statement describes a characteristic that is shared by both genotypes and phenotypes?

Answer

Both genotype (an organism’s genetic makeup) and phenotype (its observable traits) can affect an individual’s health. The other choices do not apply to both: phenotypes can change, not all phenotypes are outwardly visible, and genotypes can be passed to offspring.
