[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 170881, member: 968"] Brandonm2, you are exactly right. I never questioned whether environment could permanently affect the "looks" of an animal. I just thought the true "meaning" of phenotype was how the genes were expressed. But dictionary definition is: "the detectable expression of the interaction of genotype and environment" So you're description was perfect and I stand corrected. :D I HATE to be wrong :mad: :D And when I think about it, I would actually use the term to describe an animal "as I saw it".
