👉 The term "genotype" refers to the specific characteristics or traits of an organism that are inherited from its parents. It is a biological characteristic that determines an individual's physical appearance, health status, and susceptibility to diseases. Genotypes can be represented by symbols like A (for Autosomal Dominant), X (for X-linked), Y (for Y-chromosomal), etc., which represent the specific alleles of each gene in a particular species.
