Clyde Kilough delete or move

[edit]

Would you just like to move it to the correct spelling or have it deleted?

If delete, I don't have access to the delete button, but if you place {{db-owner}} or {{db-test}} on the top of the page, as admin will be along to delete it. put in the edit summary that the article isn't ready or that you wish to fix it and recreate it later. Hope that helps. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 13:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it to your user area at User:Dr d12/Clyde Kilgough. If you improve it, just move it back to the original location. Let me know if you have any questions. —Wknight94 (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

heterozygous, homozygous and hemizygous

[edit]

Sir,

I believe the term zygosity may be used instead of listing all three descriptions. The structure of the word clearly suggests that is defines the condition of a zygote, a definition which Merriam-Webster Online agrees with. So it can mean both the condition of a single zygote and the condition of the zygote(s) from which twins emerge. I suppose the latter definition is far more used due to the greater amount of scientific literature on twins than on inheritance. In this case the article title can be changed to zygosity with clear information on its dual use with a link to the twins page, and redirect searches for any of the three words to the new page as well. Thank you.Kraikk 12:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggested a merger, maybe you can leave a comment on it. It looks like I've brusquely been shot down. I guess the explanation given is too brief for me to understand and it's making me feel generally discouraged about editing wikipedia. (Maybe a good thing... I should focus more on troubleshooting my experiment, even if it's boring.) Anyway, I noticed you left a comment in favor of merging earlier, maybe you'd like to comment on it now. Of course, maybe you've changed your mind as well. -Madeleine 04:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Traits and phenotypes

[edit]

My dictionary of molecular biology defines them as:

Trait - Any observable phenotypic feature of a developing or developed individual.
Phenotype - 1. The totality of the structural and functional characteristics of an organism as determined by interaction of the genotype of the organisms with the environment in which it exists. 2. Any particular characteristic or set of characteristics of an organism so determined.

So in some usages "trait" and "phenotype" do overlap, but phenotype is usually the more general term. TimVickers 15:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
