Solution

The correct option is B

Wild type


Wild type (WT) refers to the phenotype of the typical form of 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.
