The phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism. The wild type phenotype is the most common phenotype found in wild populations of that organism. Wild type genes work together to produce the wild type phenotype.

Wild type is the standard of reference. Nonstandard phenotypes can be attributed to the action of one or more mutant genes. Descriptions can be reduced to deviations from the standard. The mutant gene responsible for a deviation becomes the center of attention. And a standard of reference minimizes the chance of mistakes in interpreting the results of breeding tests.

A wild type refers to the normal, unaltered version of a gene, organism, or trait as commonly observed in nature.
