  Type species - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A type species fixes the name of a genus (or of a taxon in a rank lower than genus).
In botanical nomenclature, the type of a name of a genus is a specimen or illustration (ICBN, Art 10.1, 8.1 and 10.4).
This type will usually be the type of an included species, in which case it can be indicated by the name of this species (Art 10.1).

In this scheme, the wild type is "normal", and the mutant is "abnormal" (and usually defective).
This would be the "wild type" allele, the allele that would predominate in natural, wild populations.
However, in contrast with the damaged genes used as markers in experimental studies, all of the various alleles which occur in a natural population may be phenotypically indistinguishable, at least to casual inspection.
