Genotype is the genetic complement of a phenotype (phenotype is actually the form of appearance of a trait).

For example, consider a trait for seed shape in pea plants.
Seed shape can either bamete$nd or Wrinkled.

Now, Round/Wrinkled is the phenotype and $R R$ or $Rr$ for Round while $rr$ for Wrinkled is its genetic complement or genotype.
You may also define genotype as a set of alleles. (Where, R and r are the alleles of a gene pair)

Now if we talk about a $Gamete$, It is a mature haploid male or female germ cell which is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in to form a zygote.

A human gamete has 23 chromosomes since it is haploid.

If nondisjunction occurs in humans for sister chromatids of one chromosome during Meiosis II, will any normal gametes result? What chromosome number would each gamete have?

This results in monosomy or trisomy where the cell has an extra or missing chromosome which leads to a variety of genetic disorders. Also, if a cell is missing one...
