According to the theory of Mendelian inheritance, variations in phenotype-the observable physical and behavioral characteristics of an organism-are due to variations in genotype, or the organism’s particular set of genes, each of which specifies a particular trait. Different forms of a gene, which may give rise to different phenotypes, are known as alleles.
