what is a wild phenotype
Wild type (WT) refers to the phenotype of the typical form of a species as it occurs in nature.Originally, the wild type was conceptualized as a product of the standard normal allele at a locus, in contrast to that produced by a non-standard,  mutant  allele.utant alleles can vary to a great extent, and even become the wild type if a genetic shift occurs within the population. Continued advancements in genetic mapping technologies have created a better understanding of how mutations occur and interact with other genes to alter phenotype.
