A living thing's genotype is the set of genes it carries — the instructions written in its DNA. That is not the same as how it looks or acts on the outside. Two plants can look different and still share the same genotype, or look the same and carry different genes. Scientists also use it as a verb: to genotype someone is to test their DNA and find out which genes they have. You will meet this word in biology, in medicine, and in news about DNA tests. It is a science word, not everyday talk. Though actually, people sometimes stretch it and say 'a genotype' for one whole kind of living thing, as if the genes and the kind were the same thing. Strictly, the genotype is the gene pattern; the kind is bigger than that.
組成From geno- ('kind; genes') + -type ('form; sort').
