Ais the underlying combination of genetic material present (but outwardly invisible) in an organism.

a. phenotype
b. recessive trait
c. dominant trait
d. genotype

D (Genotype)

Explanation:

A genotype is the genetic make up of an organism i.e. what the genetic material

of an organism constitutes. Genotype describes the set of genes contained in an organism's genome. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of genes called ALLELE for a trait, one from each parent. The genotype of a specific gene coding for a trait is represented by each pair of allele for that trait.

Although the genotype of an organism is outwardly invisible i.e. cannot be seen, but it determines the phenotype of that organism i.e. the outward appearance. For example, if a plant receives T and T alleles coding for tallness, from each parent. The genotype of that plant for the specific height trait will be (TT). Hence, the TT genotype although invisible but controls the tallness of the plant.
