Front

What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, while phenotype refers to the observable traits.

Front

What is the significance of the double helix structure of DNA?

Back

The double helix structure of DNA allows for the stable storage of genetic information and its replication.
