The genotype of an organism refers to its genetic makeup, specifically the alleles or variations of genes present in its DNA. This includes the specific sequences of nucleotide letters (A, T, C, G) that define the genetic information. In contrast, the physical traits of an organism, which are observable characteristics, are referred to as the phenotype, and they result from the interaction of the genotype with environmental factors.
