Errmm... Certainly it is possible to define phenotype as those effects of the genotype that are "visible",but I've also seen it defined as the overall makeup of a creature from the combined effects of genetic and environmental factors.Personally I'm not sure which I prefer.One is simple and elegant,the other is messy and unpleasantly realistic. You pays your money and takes your choice,I suspect,which makes answering the question a bit difficult unless an agreement on semantics can be reached. G.
