The genetic constitution or type regarding reproductive or sex-linked characteristics of an organism.
From 'gono-' (reproductive) + 'typos' (Greek for type, model). Scientific term combining reproductive root with genetic terminology, possibly an older variant or specialized use.
Gonotype might be an obscure predecessor to modern genetic terms—before we had 'genotype' and 'phenotype,' scientists were trying to name types of organisms based on their breeding characteristics.
