Early in the origin of life, as it is presently conceived, there was no distinction between genotype and phenotype. What characterizes this distinction, and at what stage of organization may it be said to have come into being

Genotype refers to the genetic make-up of an organism while phenotype refers to the physical appearance of an organism.

What characterized the distinction between genotype and phenotype was the discovery of the gene as a dictator of physical appearance.
