The answer is the second one (phenotype): an organism's observable or measurable characteristics make up its phenotype.

Explanation for each option:

  • Autosomes: These are chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes. They carry genes but are not directly related to the observable characteristics of an organism.
  • Phenotype: This refers to the observable or measurable characteristics of an organism, such as its physical appearance, behavior, and biochemical properties.
  • Base: In the context of genetics, a base refers to the building blocks of DNA and RNA (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil). It is not related to the observable characteristics of an organism.
  • Genes: These are segments of DNA that code for proteins and determine the inherited traits of an organism. While genes influence the phenotype, they are not the observable characteristics themselves.

Summary: The observable or measurable characteristics of an organism are referred to as its phenotype.
