Genotype is the set of genes that carries specific information for a particular trait like character. For example though genes carry the information for height, the actual information of height if the person is tall or short, is due to alleles. Alleles are the variations of genes. There are 2 alleles (1 on each chromosome) present; i.e. we get 1 allele from mother and 1 from father. The 2 alleles from both mother and father might either be the same or different.
It is a gene complement of an individual with regard to one or more character
