Genes are fragments of DNA that encode the synthesis of specific proteins. A gene is the unit of genetic information, composed of a unique sequence of nucleotides.
Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism for a specific trait, determined by two genes, one from each homologous chromosome.
Phenotype is the observable manifestation of the genotype, the traits we see in an organism due to its genetic information.
Karyotype is a visual representation of all pairs of chromosomes, numbered, classified,
