genotypic

Relating to genes

Genotypic relates to genotype—the genetic makeup of an organism as distinct from its physical characteristics.

A genotypic analysis examines DNA directly rather than observable traits.

Genotypic variation among the samples revealed three distinct lineages.

The term appears in genetics, medicine, and biology, often contrasted with phenotypic (relating to observable characteristics).
