Coloroculorum in hominibus est exemplum proprietatis hereditariae: singulus "proprietatem oculorum brunneorum" ab uno ex parentibus hereditate excipere potest.[1] Proprietates hereditariae a genis continentur, et plena genorum copia intra genoma organismi suus genotypus appellatur.[2]
Plena proprietatum notabilium structurae morumque cuiusdam organismi copiaphaenotypus appellatur. Quae proprietates ex mutua eius genotypi et circumiectorum actione exoriuntur.[3]
