What is meant by the term genotype and how does this differ from the phenotype?
The genotype of an organism is the combination of alleles, different copies of a gene at the same locus, (from the mother and father) that give rise to a particular trait whereas the phenotype is the observable trait of an organism resulting from the interaction between it's genes and the environment. The genotype only considers the genetic contribution.
