Transmission: Infectious bronchitis is a very contagious poultry disease. It is spread by air, feed bags, infected dead birds, infected houses, and rodents. The virus can be egg-transmitted, however, affected embryos usually will not hatch.
Genotype-Definition: Genotype refers to the gene composition of an organism or cell for a given trait. Genotype is inherited through sexual reproduction and differs from phenotype. Phenotype refers to physical characteristics, such as height and color, that are expressed.An organism's genotype determines its phenotype.When the alleles for a given trait are homozygous, the genotype is identical.When the genotype is heterozygous, the alleles are different.henotype refers to physical characteristics, such as height and color, that are expressed. An organism's genotype determines its phenotype. When the alleles for a given trait are homozygous, the genotype is identical. When the genotype is heterozygous, the alleles are different.
The Genotype is that 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. Conversely, some phenotypes could be the result of multiple genotypes. 2  The genotype is commonly mixed up with the Phenotype which describes the end result of both the genetic and the environmental factors giving the observed expression (e.g. blue eyes, hair color, or various hereditary diseases).
