GENOTYPE
The detailed description or classification of the genetic information constituting a particular organism by heredity in contrast to that organism's phenotype which includes all of its observable characteristics, whether inherited or acquired. The distinction is important because it is the genotype not the phenotype which is reproduced but it is the phenotype not the genotype on which natural selection acts (see evolution). (Krippendorff)
