I think it would be useful to archive most if not all of this page. There are too many threads, and quite a few of them are of no value to someone coming to the article as it is now. For example, comments on the article as it stood prior to July 2009 (when it was rewritten) are largely irrelevant, and many of the other threads have been resolved. Are there any threads that really need to stay? If not I'd move everything to an archive but make a few indexes to specific groups of threads eg:
Does this seem sensible? TuxLibNit ( talk) 22:39, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Autorecessive.svg will be appearing as picture of the day on May 14, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-05-14. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 07:28, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
As pointed out by 71.67.97.128, the image incorrectly suggested some sort of sex linkage in autosomal recessive inheritance. In fact, the probability of having a healthy/carrier/affected son or daughter is the same.
I would like to state that this image still needs correction. The diagram somewhat still suggests some sort of sex linkage. I think the correct image will be most similar to the images given in the following links.
Homozygotes & Heterozygotes. Simple image.
Having said that, I would like to thank Kashmiri for his/her previous correction which was necessary due to some worthless self-professed expert with no knowledge or skills of biology at all.

Surprising that, given my very limited knowledge of genetics, I believe I have picked up an error in the first sentence of this article - surely "makes" should read "masks"? 109.151.34.9 ( talk) 09:33, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

“The most common allele in a population may be recessive [when combined with some rare variants.]” This is quotation from current article as of july 12,2019. I was understanding the sentence until I got to the bracketed part. Rich ( talk) 19:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
The last paragraph of Co-dominance is not clear.
The most conspicuous problem is the last sentence, which states quite strongly “Again, this classical terminology is inappropriate”. The word “Again” is empty here, since I see nowhere an equally strong statement; the word “inappropriate” does not appear anywhere else in this article. Presumably, what it refers to may be the words “if [...], the phenotype is said to exhibit no dominance at all”. I understand that simply as a borderline case – just as one may call a point a “line segment of length 0”, which is certainly not “inappropriate”.
The main purpose of that paragraph, however, appears to be a distinction between co-dominance and incomplete dominance. Its explanation here hinges on the term “intermediate phenotype”. It uses pink as an example for an intermediate between red and white, which is fair enough. But it seems to contrast that with “spotted”, which, if I understand it correctly it considers somehow not “intermediate”. That appears to be a question of personal taste; one might just as well regard “spotted” as an intermediate. Or am I misunderstanding that part of the paragraph? ◅ Sebastian 10:54, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Maybe the problem is already the first sentence of that section. What does “contributions of both alleles are visible in the phenotype” mean, anyway? Does that mean that in pink one can not see the contributions of red and white, whereas in spotted, one can? That seems an arbitrary preference: Anyone who ever mixed red and white is aware of the contributions of both colors in pink. If one instead considers the presence of a pattern or lack thereof as the defining contribution, one would start with the opposite of the premise of this section. ◅ Sebastian 11:25, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Co-dominance (reptiles) and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 22 § Co-dominance (reptiles) until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.
