Phenotypic characterization refers to the process of identifying and describing the physical and observable characteristics of an organism, such as its morphology, behavior, and biochemical properties. This research area is important in understanding the genetic and environmental factors that influence an organism's phenotype, as well as in studying how these traits evolve over time. Phenotypic characterization is commonly used in fields such as genetics, ecology, and evolutionary biology to study the diversity and adaptability of different species. Techniques used in phenotypic characterization may include imaging, behavior analysis, and biochemical assays.
