Gene cassette. A gene cassette is broadly a modular DNA sequence encoding one or more genes for a single biochemical function. In genetic engineering, a gene cassette refers to a manipulable fragment of DNA carrying, and capable of expressing, one or more genes of interest between one or more sets of restriction sites.
The genotype â a term coined by Danish botanist, plant physiologist and geneticist Wilhelm Johannsen in 1903 â is the part (DNA sequence) of the genetic makeup of a cell, and therefore of an organism or individual, which determines a specific characteristic (phenotype) of that cell/organism/individual.
