I'm having a huge test tomorrow and I NEED to know the following things for the test:

the main differences between phenotypes and genotypes.

what a genotypic ratio and a phenotypic ratio is.

how Mendel's dihybrid crosses help him develop the law of independent assortment.

if you're working with 2 tall pea plants and know that one is Tt, how can you determine the genotype of the other plant?

I really need all the help I can get so any reply is appreciated :)

The genotype is the genetic composition of a organism. ( Such as the gene to have red hair.)
The Phenotype is a observable trait in an organism. (Such as actually having red hair.)
An organism can have multiple genes for a hair color (Like red, vlack, or blond), this would be the Geneotype, however, even if a person has the gene to have red hair, he/she can also have a gene to have black hair, what ever gene dominates and physically shows is the Phenotype.

well about the Tt plant, is the T the dominate trate, if it is than the other will have T in it. to be certain about the second letter you have to know the other parents traits were.
