Etymology 1

From geno- +‎ -type.

Noun

genotype (plural genotypes)

1. (genetics) The part (DNA sequence) of the genetic makeup of an organism which determines a specific characteristic (phenotype) of that organism.
   • 2019 July 10, Aisha Salaudeen, “In Nigeria, your genetic makeup can decide if you get a second date”, in CNN‎^[1], archived from the original on 6 October 2022:

     “Before I met my current partner, I was always on the lookout for someone whose genotype was compatible with mine. All my dates had the ‘what is your genotype?’ question,” Ogunnupebi told CNN.
     A genotype is the set of genes in a person’s DNA responsible for a particular trait, and genotypes are considered important in Nigerian relationships because they determine who sickle cell disease carriers are.

2. A group of organisms having the same genetic constitution.
