Here is a fourfold of evolutionary genetic terms to consider.
- Ontogenic: related to the development or developmental history of an individual organism
- Phylogenic: related to the development or evolution of a particular group of organisms
- Genotypic: related to the genetic makeup of an organism or group of organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits, or an entire complex of traits
- Phenotypic: related to the observable constitution of an organism (or the appearance of an organism resulting from the interaction of the genotype and the environment)
