Wild type The normal allele at a locus in a population. It is usually a fully functional allele. Equally, the normal phenotype.

A wild type allele is an allele which is considered to be "normal" for the organism in question, as opposed to a mutant allele which is usually a relatively new modification.
Class III grew the fastest (wild type rate), Class II grew slower and class I grew the slowest.
Wild type corn or natural corn is white. Carrots are the same way. Wild type carrots have white roots.
Finally in 1910, he noticed a white-eyed mutant male among the red-eyed wild types. He bred this white-eyed fly with a red-eyed female. Their progeny were all red-eyed, suggesting that the white eye trait was recessive.
- A mutation that reverts the mutual gene to the wild type form; also called reverse mutation.

A culture of E. coli strain B is coinfected with equal numbers of a triple mutant of T4 phage, d g r, and wild type (+ + +). 1000 plaques were analyzed and their genotype were distributed as follows.

antimorphic A type of mutation in which the mutated gene product has an altered function that acts antagonistically to the wild type allele. Antimorphic mutants are usually dominant or semi-dominant.
domesticated plant A plant that has been genetically changed from the wild type due to artificial selection.
a change in single nucleotide of DNA, such that that nucleotide is switched for another nucleotide, or that nucleotide is deleted, or a single nucleotide is inserted into the DNA that causes that DNA to be different from the normal or wild type gene ...
