Evolutionary biology High‑importance

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Genotype-Phenotype Map[edit]

I think this subject deserves an independent page, not just a redirect here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.236.97 (talk) 17:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does monozygocity imply identical genotype?[edit]

The article reads: “Even two organisms with identical genotypes normally differ in their phenotypes. One experiences this in everyday life with monozygous (i.e. identical) twins. Identical twins share the same genotype, since their genomes are identical; but they never have the same phenotype, although their phenotypes may be very similar.”

However, in Human_genetic_variation it says: “No two humans are genetically identical. Even monozygotic twins, who develop from one zygote, have infrequent genetic differences due to mutations occurring during development and gene copy number variation has been observed.”

That is, even monozygotic twins do not have the same genotype (are not genetically identical). Therefore, I think the paragraph containing the sentence above should be removed. (e.g. emre) 14:43, 27 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emreg00 (talk • contribs)

Sickle-cell disease and one-to-one?[edit]

What exactly does "phenotype" mean in this context?

For example, if the phenotype is almost one-to-one with genotype (sickle-cell disease)

Genotype-phenotype distinction → Genotype–phenotype distinction – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. Tony (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:MOSDASH and many external guides. What more authority could we wish for than Nature? Tony (talk) 01:30, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support but should have been done as a technical noncontroversial since it's so obviously the right move. Dicklyon (talk) 01:40, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
