Answer:

Genotype

Step-by-step explanation:

Genotype is the the genetic constitution of an individual organism(Oxford dictionary).

When we talk about genotype, we are referring to the entire gentetic material that an organism inherits from its ancestors. It is the entirety of genetic material present in organisms which they may also pass on to their offspring. The term often connotes the complete set of genes in an organism.
