(Original description) The diagnosis that Cossmann previously provided in support of ''Bellardiella'' does not apply - as we have seen above - to the

genotype The genotype of an organism is its complete set of genetic material. Genotype can also be used to refer to the alleles or variants an individual carries in a particular gene or genetic location. The number of alleles an individual can have in a ...
