GENOTYPE 5)
← Back
The set of an organism's characters acquired through heredity.
The genotype should be clearly distinguished from the phenotype, as observed by K. KRIPPENDORFF: "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" (1986, p.33).
This implies that autopoieisis is basically a character of the individual.
