An allele is a variant form a gene and is present in two forms: dominant and recessive.
The dominant allele masks the effect of the recessive allele and shows its characteristic in the phenotype.
Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism consisting of many pairs of genes responsible for inheritance and various functions. Genotypes are represented by alphabets, for example BB or bb.
Phenotype is the expression of the genes through characteristics of organisms which can be observed. For example, the height of an individual and eye color.
