Genotype in a sentence

If a mutation results in greater replication and survival, the mutant genotype may out-compete the parent genotype and come to dominate the species.

The fitness of a particular genotype corresponds to the average effect on all individuals with that genotype.

This means that a canalized phenotype may form from a large variety of different genotypes, in which case it is not possible to exactly predict the genotype from knowledge of the phenotype (i.e. the genotype–phenotype map is not invertible).

A genetic chimaera is a single organism composed of cells of more than one distinct genotype (or genetic makeup).

Although this person would possess both a blue-eye gene and a brown-eye gene in their genotype, their phenotype may only acknowledge the dominant trait, making their eyes brown.

I dissolved them due to personal reasons, not because of genotype difference.

An Area Court sitting in Centre-Igboro, Ilorin on Thursday dissolved the Islamic marriage between Ajisegiri Balikis and Saadu Jimoh over unmatched genotype.

He added that “to make and inform the health decision that will ensure healthy generations, there is need to have free genotype and malaria screening among children.

Rebecca T. Batstone et al, Experimental evolution makes microbes more cooperative with their local host genotype, DOI: 10.1126/science.

He described his idea of the TunMicro free genotype test initiative as his own way of giving back to the society through his field of endeavour and what he knows and loves to do best.

However, thanks to the advent of DNA testing kits over the past few years, people can, for the first time, use science - at home and relatively inexpensively - to learn more about their ethnic roots, genotype, traits, health risks, and more.

In addition, people with the GG genotype reported less anxious attachment in their marriage, which also benefited their relationship, the results showed.

Perhaps more notably, these reductions in the frequency of VOCs were seen among patients regardless of sickle cell disease genotype and/or hydroxyurea use.

The Anambra state house of assembly is set to passes a bill that states that a genotype test must be conducted before marriage.

The genotype must affect the disease status only via its effect on the exposure of interest and should be randomly distributed with respect to other covariates (Ding and Hu ).

As a rule of thumb, think of the genotype as an organism’s genetic blueprint, and of the phenotype as the end product, with all the scratches, dents, and new coats of paint it got over its lifetime.

A genotype-first model of diagnosis has been proposed, which would routinely assess the genome's copy number variations. citation As new genetic tests are developed several ethical, legal, and social issues will emerge.

A group of such genotypes is constantly changing, so discussions of which single genotype is the most fit become meaningless.

An example of a phenotypic trait is hair color; there are underlying genes that control the hair color, which make up the genotype, but the actual hair color, the part we see, is the phenotype.

A sequence is an absolute measure of base composition of an individual, or a representative of a species or group; a genotype typically implies a measurement of how an individual differs or is specialized within a group of individuals or a species.
