Genotype
The blueprint of an organism coded in its DNA inherited from its parents. Genotype is the largest influencing factor in the development of phenotype.

Genotype
A genotype is an individual's collection of genes. The term also can refer to the two alleles inherited for a particular gene.
Genotypes
Each of us has two ABO blood type alleles, because we each inherit one blood type allele from our biological mother and one from our biological father. A description of the pair of alleles in our DNA is called the genotype.
Genotype to Phenotype
Individuals who inherit two N alleles have blood group N.
Individuals who are homozygous for the M allele have blood group M.
Heterozygous individuals produce both proteins and have blood group MN.
genotype The genetic (alleleic) makeup of an organism with regard to an observed trait.
Genotype
A specific description of the genetic constitution of an organism. The genotype is defined by the allelic form of each gene in an organism, but for simplicity usually only differences from the wild-type are described.
Genotype: The entire genetic identity of an individual, including alleles, or gene forms, that do not show as outward c haracteristics.
Guanine (G): A base; one of the molecular components of DNA and RNA. Always bonds with cytosine (G-C).
Genotype: The genetic identity of an individual. Genotype often is evident by outward characteristics.
Germline cells: Cells that contain inherited material that comes from the eggs and sperm, and that are passed on to offspring.
Genotype The alleles present in an individual at the locus (loci) under consideration. Alternatively, the sum of all the alleles present in a genome.
Genotype. The structure of DNA that determines the expression of a trait. See Phenotype.
Genus. A category including closely related species. Interbreeding between organisms within the same category can occur.
Genotype and Phenotype
The genetic makeup of P1 plants was different from that of F1 because the P1 plants were true breeding and the F1 plants were not. The genetic makeup of an individual is referred to as its genotype.
Genotype The genetic constitution of an organism, as distinguished from its physical appearance (its phenotype).
Genotype
The term proposed by Johannsen (1909) for the hereditary constitution of an individual, or of particular nuclei within its cells.

If the genotype for seeds was Rr (where R is dominant and r is recessive), R would supercede the recessive gene and the plant would express a round seed phenotype.

While the APOE genotype alters susceptibility to disease expression, individuals with APOE ε4 alleles have the highest risk of developing AD; the APOE ε4 allele is neither essential nor sufficient on its own to cause AD.
Genotype: the genes (or alleles) present in an individual Geographic isolation: the separation of a population from the rest of its species due to some physical barrier, such as a mountain range, an ocean, or great distance.
0505 in the next generation because of the chance production of a few more or less progeny of each genotype. In the second generation, there is another sampling error based on the new gene frequency, so the frequency of "a" may go from 0.0505 to 0.
In general, the effect of increased selection pressure is over specialization while the effect of relaxed selection pressure is that new and different genotypes thrive.
There are several scientific obstacles to correlating genotype (an individual's genetic endowment) and behavior. One problem is in defining a specific endpoint that characterizes a condition, be it schizophrenia or intelligence.
When a single trait is being studied, a test cross is a cross between an individual with the dominant phenotype but of unknown genotype (homozygous or heterozygous) with a homozygous recessive individual.
Genotyping will carry on because essentially a way to identify the, portions of the genome that are the most variable and you use that to genotype oirganisms.
Phenotype: The physical appearance of an individual that is the result of that individual's genotype and the interaction of the genotype with the environment during development.
The science of understanding the correlation between an individual patient's genetic make-up (genotype) and their response to drug treatment. Some drugs work well in some patient populations and not as well in others.
