The correct relationship is: An organism’s genotype leads to its phenotype.

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup of an organism, which consists of the specific alleles (variants of genes) it possesses. Phenotype, on the other hand, encompasses the observable traits or characteristics of an organism that result from the interaction of the genotype with the environment.
