genotype

     

The genotype is the genetic constitution of a cell, an organism, or an inividual, that is the specific allele makeup of the individual, usually with reference to a specific character under consideration . For instance, the human albino gene has two allelic forms, dominant A and recessive a, and there are three possible genotypes- AA (homozygous dominant), Aa (heterozygous), and aa (homozygous recessive).
