genotype = genetic definition for a given trait at the molecular level. example - you will grow long fingers. phenotype = the actualization of this trait on the physical body of that organism. example - you have long fingers because you were able to consume enough food to grow the fingers you were presdisposed to have. This isn't just stuff "stored in the mind" but the influence of the environment on the development of the organism. If I grew up in a country where there was not proper nutrition available, then my genes might not be able to express certain physical traits that were defined in the genes. That's what the person was talking about.
