Detailed explanation-1: -The wild type (WT) is the phenotype of the typical form of a species as it occurs in nature. Originally, the wild type was conceptualized as a product of the standard “normal” allele at a locus, in contrast to that produced by a non-standard, “mutant” allele.
Detailed explanation-2: -The wild type is the most common form or phenotype in nature or in a natural breeding population.
Detailed explanation-3: -In humans, phenotype examples include earwax type, height, blood type, eye color, freckles, and hair color.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wild type is the standard of reference for the genotype and phenotype. As the standard, wild type is not considered dominant or recessive. Mutant alleles are dominant or recessive in comparison to wild type.
Detailed explanation-5: -Drosophila of typical appearance are said to show the “wild-type” forms (phenotypes) of genetically-controlled traits for body colour, eye colour, wing shape, etc.
