The genetic constitution of a cell or an organism is referred to as its genotype. The assertion is correct. Genotype consists of the sum total of all recessive and dominant genes. DNA with all the various genes is the heredity material which serves to transfer the genetic information from one generation to the next. This makes genotype an inherited property of organisms. The reason is correct but it is not an explanation for the assertion.
