The Sub-headings Genotype and Mendelian inheritance and Genotype and genetics have the same material. I propose we remove one of them, and put in internal links that are not common to the two duplicates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.25.18.164 ( talk) 19:10, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Moved inappropriate tone flag from main page to here:
This article's tone or style may not reflect the
encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (December 2007) |
This article may be too technical for most readers to understand.(September 2010) |
I added an introductory paragraph that's a more accessible version of the original first few sentences. I don't know how to remove that 'too technical' box, though, and I'm not sure if it's warranted. OsamaBinLogin 20:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
"constitution of a cell, an organism, or an individual" what is the difference between an organism and an individual? An organism is an individual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.107.153 ( talk) 10:57, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: Genotype is generally relates to molecular biology, while genotyping relates to the application of molecular biology to clinical treatment. Both require more advanced discussions, but the specific methods used to determine a genotype are not relevant to the clinical applications; likewise the ramifications of a clinical genotyping results are not relevant to the average molecular biologist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.69.104.2 ( talk) 18:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Since this disease is sex related, it's not the best example to illustrate zigosity and mendelian inheritance. Mens doesn't have two 'recesive' alleles, but the lack of allele in gene Y.
I think this whole article should be gone over and heavily edited, it is very confusing and often does not make sense or is factually incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.38.36 ( talk) 22:00, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Genotype/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

As part of a Wiki course, I plan to make the following updates to this article:
Storyminusthes ( talk) 03:58, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
Lead
The lead section is concise and clear to follow. Key ideas are introduced at an appropriate level of detail. The first introductory sentence is pithy. Suggestions: remove the last sentence "term genotype was coined by .." or move to earlier in first paragraph a brief overview of the contents of the article would be beneficial
Content
The content of this article is appropriate. Genotype is a very general term; therefore, keeping this article focused is a good idea. There are lots of link to other articles for related topics. That is great! Key related concepts of inheritance is covered. I like that it is split into mendelian and non-mendelian inheritance. The section title "Determination" seems a bit vague. Why not just change to genotyping. I don't know if the "Evolutionary origin of genotype" is necessary. The origin of genotype is really a story of the origin of genetic material and the mechanisms of inheritance. Suggestions: Maybe give penetrance and expressivity a subsection of their own under Mendelian inheritance. maybe provide some example of the above two concepts
Tone and Balance
Overall, I think tone and balance in this article is great. Genotype is not inherently controversial, so I think this article doesn't have issues with that Overall I think the language is accessible to a non-expert audience
Sources and Balance
This article has a lot of sources. While there are some primary sources, many are secondary sources. Moreover, many sources are drawn from encyclopedia or general genetics texts. I think is is advantageous so that a general audience member can follow up as necessary. I think the sources are current, thorough and comes from a diverse set of authors. Since genotype is a fundamental topic in human genetics, I am sure there are tons of other sources out there. However, I don't think more citations are necessary and, given the quality of the current references, I don't think any more need to be added. A spot check of the links suggests that there is not a lot of dead links.
Organization
Overall, the article is well-organized. The language is easy to read while not lacking key genetic concepts. The descriptions of these concepts are accurate. A great strength of this article is how concise the writing is given how broad a topic like genotype is. There are no grammatical errors that I noticed while reading. Content is well organized into sections and sub-sections.

The definitions in the respective Wikipedia pages do not appear to differ between genotype and genome. This is also evident in most definitions I found. Is there a difference? Clarification would help - and perhaps a mention in the Introduction to Genetics article ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_genetics).
“The genotype of an organism is its complete set of genetic material”( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype). There is a somewhat different definition of genotype from the NHGRI at NIH ( https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/genotype).
“a genome is all the genetic information of an organism” ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome)
It would also be informative to discuss the genetic information of the entire population of an organism. Does it have a name? How many more genes are present in the population of an organism than in a single individual? Presumably unknown but the current academic thoughts (or lack of) would be interesting.
