Detailed explanation-1: -In one sense, the term “genotype”-like the term “genome”-refers to the entire set of genes in the cells of an organism. In a narrower sense, however, it can refer to different alleles, or variant forms of a gene, for particular traits, or characteristics.
Detailed explanation-2: -A genome is the complete set of genetic information in an organism. It provides all of the information the organism requires to function.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. It is represented by letters.
Detailed explanation-4: -A genotype is a scoring of the type of variant present at a given location (i.e., a locus) in the genome. It can be represented by symbols. For example, BB, Bb, bb could be used to represent a given variant in a gene.
