Question

what is genotype
?

Answer 1

A genotype is the genetic makeup for a specific trait. An example would be being homozygous or heterozygous for a specific trait. It is closely related to phenotype, which is the physical showing of a specific trait

Answer 2

PHENOTYPE
This is the "outward, physical manifestation" of the organism. These are the physical parts, the sum of the atoms, molecules, macromolecules, cells, structures, metabolism, energy utilization, tissues, organs, reflexes and behaviors; anything that is part of the observable structure, function or behavior of a living organism.


GENOTYPE
This is the "internally coded, inheritable information" carried by all living organisms. This stored information is used as a "blueprint" or set of instructions for building and maintaining a living creature. These instructions are found within almost all cells (the "internal" part), they are written in a coded language (the genetic code), they are copied at the time of cell division or reproduction and are passed from one generation to the next ("inheritable"). These instructions are intimately involved with all aspects of the life of a cell or an organism. They control everything from the formation of protein macromolecules, to the regulation of metabolism and synthesis.

Answer 3

The genotype–phenotype distinction is drawn in genetics.

"Phenotype" is an organism's actual observed properties, such as morphology, development, or behavior. This distinction is fundamental in the study of inheritance of traits and their evolution.

"Genotype" is an organism's full hereditary information, even if not expressed.
The genotype represents its exact genetic makeup — the particular set of genes it possesses. Two organisms whose genes differ at even one locus (position in their genome) are said to have different genotypes. The transmission of genes from parents to offspring is under the control of precise molecular mechanisms. The discovery of these mechanisms and their manifestations began with Mendel and comprises the field of genetics.
