genotype: the genomic code of DNA in chromosomes eg. 46 in Homo vs 48 great apes, mutations, jumping genes etc.
phenotype: protein tissue produced by recipe of DNA, alterable behaviour due to changes in production rates eg. feather vs fur vs bare skin, nail vs claw vs hoof
extended phenotype: artefacts produced by organism's behaviour
eg. beaver lodge, dam; dauber wasp mud tube made for egg nest, hut
