a group of organisms sharing a specific genetic constitution
"The rare mutation was found in several unrelated patients, indicating that they share a distinct genotype despite their different family histories."
the particular alleles at specified loci present in an organism
"When comparing the two varieties of corn, scientists discovered that their phenotypes were similar but their genotypes differed because they carried different alleles for drought resistance."
The part (DNA sequence) of the genetic makeup of an organism which determines a specific characteristic (phenotype) of that organism.
"The newly discovered fossil was identified as the genotype, serving as the primary reference for the entire new genus of prehistoric whales."
The type species of a genus; generitype.
To determine the genotype of.
"The researcher sequenced the DNA to determine the genotype of the rare plant species before it became extinct."
