genetic makeup
the genes or versions of genes that a living thing has
Tipar de utilizare:
the genotype of [an organism/cell/individual]; [someone/something]'s genotype; genotype for [a gene/trait]
Greșeală frecventă:
Do not confuse genotype with phenotype: genotype is genetic makeup; phenotype is observable traits or characteristics.
Sinonime
genetic makeup (Clearer, less technical term for the same idea.)
|
genetic constitution (More formal or scientific wording.)
|
genetic profile (Often refers to the set of genetic markers identified in a test, not necessarily the whole genome.)
Antonime
phenotype (The observable traits or characteristics produced by genes and environment, contrasted with the underlying genetic makeup.)

Exemple
- A person's genotype can affect how they respond to certain medicines.

Exemple pentru cursanți

2
genetically distinct variant
one genetic type of a virus, plant, animal, or other living thing
Tipar de utilizare:
[a virus/species/pathogen] genotype; genotype [number/letter]
Greșeală frecventă:
Do not use genotype simply for any visible variety unless the type is identified by its genes.
Sinonime
genetic variant (Emphasizes difference in DNA rather than classification.)
|
strain (Common for microbes, but a strain may be defined by more than genotype alone.)
|
lineage (Emphasizes ancestry or evolutionary relationship.)
|
type (More general and less technical.)

Exemple
- Some hepatitis C genotypes respond differently to treatment.

3
identify genetic makeup
to test DNA to find which genes or gene versions something has
Tipar de utilizare:
genotype [someone/something]; genotype [a sample/population] for [a variant/marker]
Greșeală frecventă:
The common forms are genotyped and genotyping. Genotyping usually checks genetic variants; it is not the same as describing appearance.
Sinonime
genetically test (Less technical and broader; may include many kinds of DNA testing.)
|
genetically analyze (Broader term that may include more than identifying genotype.)
|
genetically profile (Often means identifying a pattern of genetic markers.)

technical
rate of a genotype
how common a particular genotype is in a group
Exemple

technical
genes depend on environment
when genes and environment affect each other in producing a trait
Exemple
