the genetic makeup of an individual is called its __________, and the physical traits of an individual are called its __________.
characteristic...genotype
genotype...phenotype
phenotype...genotype
gene trait...morpho trait

Explanation:

In genetics, the genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism. It represents the set of genes an individual has. The phenotype, on the other hand, is the physical expression of those genes, which includes observable traits like eye color, height, etc. The first option "characteristic...genotype" is incorrect as "characteristic" is too broad. The third option "phenotype...genotype" reverses the definitions. The fourth option "gene trait...morpho trait" is not standard terminology in genetics.

Answer:

B. genotype...phenotype
