- Mendelian Genetics Part No. 1 - Defining Key Vocabulary
Solving Mendelian genetics problems can seem somewhat daunting from the onset, especially with the vocabulary that is associated with them. Here we will define key terms that are used in genetics problems, but also, walk you through the proper steps needed...
- Genetic Terms
Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism. Phenotype is the set of characteristic manifested by an organism. An individual has a heterozygous condition if he has 2 different alleles of the same gene An individual has a homozygous condition if...

Term: genotype
Literally meaning: ?genome type?
Origin: Anc Greek

In 1905 by the Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen 1857-1927) who also created the terms of ?phenotype? and ?gene? based on his studies on bean plants.
Definition
Genotype is defined as the the genetic constitution of an organism but usually the term refers to a specific genetic loci responsible for a phenotypic character .
