Genotype vs. Haplotype

Genotypenoun

(genetics) The part (DNA sequence) of the genetic makeup of an organism which determines a specific characteristic (phenotype) of that organism.

Genotypenoun

A group of organisms having the same genetic constitution.

Genotypenoun

The type species of a genus; generitype.

Genotypeverb

(transitive) To determine the genotype of.

Genotypenoun

A group of organisms sharing a specific genetic constitution.

Genotypenoun

The genetic constitution of an organism, specifying the particular alleles at defined loci in the genome; - used with respect to one gene, a specific group of genes, or the entire set of genes within the organism. Contrasted with phenotype.

Genotypenoun

a group of organisms sharing a specific genetic constitution

Genotypenoun

the particular alleles at specified loci present in an organism

Genotype

The genotype of an organism is its complete set of genetic material. However, the term is often used to refer to a single gene or set of genes, such as the genotype for eye color.

Haplotypenoun

(genetics) A group of alleles that are transmitted together.

Haplotypeverb

(genetics) To characterize with respect to haplotype

Haplotype

A haplotype (haploid genotype) is a group of alleles in an organism that are inherited together from a single parent.Many organisms contain genetic material (DNA) which is inherited from two parents. Normally these organisms have their DNA organized in two sets of pairwise similar chromosomes.
