Genotype is the complete genetic makeup of an organism.

Serology, however is a group of techniques that are used to test for or identify specific genetic characteristics. Those characteristics are often called serotypes.

For example:

A person's blood type is a part of his/her genotype, and serologic testing can identify that person's serotype: A, AB, B, or O.

Perhaps you were confusing "genotype" and "serotype"?

How does its genotype differ from the non-circled offspring?

The circled offspring's genotype will contain the specific genetic traits that were circled or highlighted in their genetic makeup. In contrast, the non-circled offspring's genotype will not have those specific circled genetic traits. This indicates that the circled offspring has inherited or carries those highlighted traits, while the non-circled offspring does not.
