red hair\trr\themophilia

Explanation:

• Genotype: It refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. "The genetic combinations in an organism" and "a pair of alleles (e.g., \(rr\))" are related to the genetic code.
• Phenotype: It is the observable physical or functional characteristics of an organism. "The way an organism looks or functions as determined by its genes", "red hair" (a physical trait), and "hemophilia" (a functional disorder) are phenotypic expressions.

Answer:

• Genotype: the genetic combinations in an organism, a pair of alleles (\(rr\))
• Phenotype: the way an organism looks or functions as determined by its genes, red hair, hemophilia
