The genetic composition of an individual or defined population.
The total of the genes inherited from the parents and passed on to progeny.
The total set of genes present at the time of conception, producing the genetic constitution.
Entire genetic constitution of an individual cell or organism.
The total genetic, or hereditary, constitution that an individual receives from its parents. An individual organism’s genotype is distinguished from its phenotype, which is its appearance or observable character.
Description of the combination of genes of an individual, either with respect to a single trait or with respect to a larger set of traits. (Contrast with Phenotype.)
The combination of genes that determines the genetic potentials.
The sequence of bases in DNA that provides inherited characteristics of an individual.
Complete genetic makeup or constitution of an individual organism or a related group {compare phenotype).
The genetic constitution of an individual or group, as determined by the particular set of genes it possesses.
All of an individual’s genetic information that is encoded in his or her chromosomes. It also means the genetic information carried by a pair of alleles which controls a particular characteristic.
The genetic potential of a living organism is referred to as its genotype, which is a hypothetical construct. This is due to the fact that the physical manifestation, or phenotype, is a result of the interplay between the genotype and the environment in which it exists.
The genetic constitution of a cell or organism. The virus responsible for hepatitis C exhibits six distinct genotypes.
Genotype refers to the complete genetic composition of an individual or a group of related individuals, in contrast to their observable traits. Additionally, the term is used to describe the specific set of alleles (various forms of a gene) at a particular location on a chromosome. The genetic information carried by these alleles determines a specific characteristic or trait exhibited by the organism.
