It would be a selection at random but the intent is that consciousness is involved. Usually the symbol string "random" is not associated with consciousness. Likewise what is the intent with phenotype, if <i>random</i> can be both used in a sentence with either the intent of purposelessness and purpose then imagine the fun you can have with this undefined word <i>phenotype</i>.

Freeman and Co., San Francisco, CA, USA, 1950, p. 36:</dd></dl> <blockquote><p>...helps us in gaining an insight into the interrelation between genes and "characters", which is an important aspect of human genetics. A "character" or trait may be defined as any observable feature of the developing or the fully developed individual: A biochemical property, a cellular form or process, an anatomical structure, an organ function, or a mental characteristic. The genic content of the nuclei of a given individual and his "external" appearance are obviously different concepts. The word "external" signifies that the characters are <i>derived</i> from genic action. They are removed from the genes by at least one and, often, numerous steps. For the genetic constitution, the term <i>genotype</i> has been coined; for the external appearance, the term <i>phenotype</i> is used.</p></blockquote> <dl><dd>Hope this helps. Unfortunately, Stern does not provide a reference for the definition of "phenotype", but this is the oldest mention I have found.

In the case of some animals, sex determination relies upon environmental factors. </p><p>Kurzon (03 May 2005) - I don't quite like that equation, as it can be a bit misleading: one could mistakenly think that the phenotype is merely the genotype and environmental factors considered simultaneously, not their consequence for the organism. It's not a big issue - I think most readers will get it - but is there a better way of expressing this? Perhaps an arrow ( -> ) like in chemistry equations in place of the equals sign? </p><p>You could say instead that phenotype is a function of genotype and environmental factors.

IMO the picture of bivalve shells is interesting but doesn't really help very much to clarify the difference, if you don't already understand it.

To be clear, you originally wrote: "dying one's hair a color should be considered a phenotype, absolutely.". To then suggest that phenotypes are "caused by the genome/epigenome" is to make the two terms synonymous or to create a tautology that renders the term phenotype redundant. If all variations are "caused by the genome/epigenome" then that is the end of the story. Dying one's hair is only "caused by the genome/epigenome" if you adopt a strict deterministic philosophy, in which case nothing is not "caused by the genome/epigenome". However, if phenotype refers to the development of an organism in response to its environment, either prebirth in the form of a teratogenic change or post birth, both having no trans-generational impact on DNA, then neither results in an heditary trait and so does not have an evolutionary (DNA driven) impact such as you suggest but simply a possible impact on population. <a href="/wiki/User:LookingGlass" title="User:LookingGlass">LookingGlass</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:LookingGlass" title="User talk:LookingGlass">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T07:58:00.000Z-Richard001-2007-05-12T04:01:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:58, 20 April 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T07:58:00.000Z-Richard001-2007-05-12T04:01:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T07:58:00.000Z-Richard001-2007-05-12T04:01:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><dl><dd><ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Randykitty-2013-04-20T08:55:00.000Z-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T07:58:00.000Z"></span>A phenotype is the sum total of observable characteristics (traits) of an organism.

As far as I understand it, in the case of <a href="/wiki/Thalidomide#Teratogenic_mechanism" title="Thalidomide">thalidomide</a> for instance, the DNA of the embryo is affected causing birth defects which persist in the affected individual. It seems then, that while the original "starting" genotype might be the same as at the moment of conception, it is altered/maladapted/corrupted by the drug prior to birth. The "altered genotype" at birth would appear therefore to be different to the one at the moment of conception, so while in some hypothetical manner two children could be born with the identical genotype at conception their genomes might be different at birth. However it appears from the case of Thalidomide that this revised/deformed genome would not be hereditary, or its deformation would not be. Could someone clarify how a pre-birth phenotype change via the DNA is possible without it being a genetic change that becomes hereditary ie mutagenic? I might accept more easily, that as there is no evidence of second generation defects (yet?), there is no mutagenic affect if the mechanism could be clarified by which mutagenic action, ie the effect of a substance on the DNA of a cell and therefore of its replication, comes to be isolated from the formation of <a href="/wiki/Gamete" title="Gamete">gametes</a> and therefore becomes non-hereditary. Can anyone clarify? Is it that the teratogenic affect of thalidomide does not affect the gametes but rather specific cells in the embryo (which are not stem cells?)? <a href="/wiki/User:LookingGlass" title="User:LookingGlass">LookingGlass</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:LookingGlass" title="User talk:LookingGlass">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T05:53:00.000Z-Thalidomide" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:53, 20 April 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T05:53:00.000Z-Thalidomide"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T05:53:00.000Z-Thalidomide"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T06:03:00.000Z-LookingGlass-2013-04-20T05:53:00.000Z"></span>Oops, I think this paper answers my question: [<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.iacom.org.uk/documents/MHHv4020812withlinks.pdf">Committee on Mutagenicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer</a>].

Although genetics can effect an organisms ability to learn, I think from genetics people are more inclined to certain behavior. There are definitely genetics that make you more likely to get angry or to effect your intelegence, but I don't think it would be considered a phenotype. If we stick with the definition of phenotype described in the rest of the talk page, then it is how your genes are expressed and effected by the environment. Like if your mom has anger issues and your dad doesn't, it is not inherited the same way as a physical disease. Certain behaviors don't have a proven genetic element. It is much more environmental. I would say learned behavior is more nuture than nature, but a link to another page about nature versus nurture or learned behavior and genetics could be useful. --<a href="/wiki/User:Mjb15f" title="User:Mjb15f">Mjb15f</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mjb15f" title="User talk:Mjb15f">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-Mjb15f-2017-03-24T13:07:00.000Z-Randykitty-2014-05-17T17:29:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:07, 24 March 2017 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mjb15f-2017-03-24T13:07:00.000Z-Randykitty-2014-05-17T17:29:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mjb15f-2017-03-24T13:07:00.000Z-Randykitty-2014-05-17T17:29:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Definition_of_Phenotype" data-mw-thread-id="h-Definition_of_Phenotype-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Definition_of_Phenotype-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z"></span>Definition of Phenotype<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Definition_of_Phenotype-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Phenotype&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Definition of Phenotype"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z-Definition_of_Phenotype"></span>The definition of phenotype as "the composite of an organism's observable characteristics or traits" is very unhelpful. This definition would seem to imply that it is impossible to specify a phenotype because there is no way you can know _all_ of an organisms observable traits. It would also seem to imply that there are as many phenotypes in a species as there are individuals within that species. Another brief section of the article talks about the difficulty in defining phenotype, and I think that section needs to be considerably expanded. In fact, based on my unsuccessful attempts at finding a useful and consistent definition of phenotype somewhere on the internet, and my discovery of this youtube video: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdI2rtzGgEA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdI2rtzGgEA</a> , I think that if this article were to do the concept justice, the section on 'problems with definition' would have to cover around 80% or more of the article. In any case, the best way to start would be to go through the article and drop any definition that clearly *could not* be a useful definition of phenotype, starting with the definition found at the beginning of the article. In its current state, I don't think a layperson can really develop a useful notion of the concept of phenotype from this article. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Comiscuous&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Comiscuous (page does not exist)">Comiscuous</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Comiscuous" title="User talk:Comiscuous">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z-Definition_of_Phenotype" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:08, 4 June 2015 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z-Definition_of_Phenotype"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z-Definition_of_Phenotype"></span> </p> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Randykitty-2015-06-04T08:34:00.000Z-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z"></span>I don't see a problem with the definition in the lead, which <i>is</i> the correct definition of phenotype. --<a href="/wiki/User:Randykitty" title="User:Randykitty">Randykitty</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Randykitty" title="User talk:Randykitty">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-Randykitty-2015-06-04T08:34:00.000Z-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:34, 4 June 2015 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Randykitty-2015-06-04T08:34:00.000Z-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Randykitty-2015-06-04T08:34:00.000Z-Comiscuous-2015-06-04T00:08:00.000Z"></span></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Assessment_comment" data-mw-thread-id="h-Assessment_comment-2007-04-28T20:36:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Assessment_comment-2007-04-28T20:36:00.000Z"></span>Assessment comment<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Assessment_comment-2007-04-28T20:36:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Phenotype&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Assessment comment"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Tameeria-2007-04-28T20:36:00.000Z-Assessment_comment"></span> The comment(s) below were originally left at <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Phenotype/Comments&redirect=no">Talk:Phenotype/Comments</a></span>, and are posted here for posterity.

Phenotype for many characteristics is determined by dominant and recessive genes. Since environment is mentioned as something that determines phenotype, I feel like inheritance should to. A possible heading could be "Genetic Influences On Phenotype" where dominant, recessive, autosomal and sexlinked can all be briefly explained. Then, they can be told how they effect which traits are shown in the organism. Even if inheritance is not explained, a link to inheritance could be added, and then how this effects phenotype could still be explained on this page.

The other alleles or genes or RnA I believe could DNA like a penis or a vagina the shape size of a penis or a vagina is going to be specific to the male or female X to Y chromosome. So the shape of the female vaginas not going to be affected by the male's penis Gene you see what I'm saying that's your phenotype. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/209.171.85.217" title="Special:Contributions/209.171.85.217">209.171.85.217</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:209.171.85.217" title="User talk:209.171.85.217">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-209.171.85.217-20230613120500-Mjb15f-2017-03-24T13:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:05, 13 June 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-209.171.85.217-20230613120500-Mjb15f-2017-03-24T13:18:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-209.171.85.217-20230613120500-Mjb15f-2017-03-24T13:18:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Language" data-mw-thread-id="h-Language-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Language-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z"></span>Language<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Language-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Phenotype&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Language"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z-Language"></span>Is there a phenotype system for human faces, and what kind of language terms does it use? -<a href="/wiki/User:Inowen" title="User:Inowen">Inowen</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Inowen" title="User talk:Inowen">nlfte</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z-Language" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:33, 15 October 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z-Language"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z-Language"></span> </p> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Chiswick_Chap-2018-10-15T04:17:00.000Z-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z"></span>Well, police photofit systems give them a means of describing faces, but that's way too specialized for this article, for which humans are at best a subtopic, human faces a subsubtopic, and languages for such a subsubsubtopic, if anything. <a href="/wiki/User:Chiswick_Chap" title="User:Chiswick Chap">Chiswick Chap</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chiswick_Chap" title="User talk:Chiswick Chap">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-Chiswick_Chap-2018-10-15T04:17:00.000Z-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">04:17, 15 October 2018 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Chiswick_Chap-2018-10-15T04:17:00.000Z-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Chiswick_Chap-2018-10-15T04:17:00.000Z-Inowen-2018-10-15T03:33:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Inowen-2018-10-15T19:02:00.000Z-Chiswick_Chap-2018-10-15T04:17:00.000Z"></span>Humans are also a macrotopic because of being a superspecies.

So your genotype is Saint Bernard let's say you're breeding St Bernard dogs I have to do is have two Saint Bernards you got your genotype now. Now phenotype X and Y chromosomes say you want a male dog like your old male dog so you're scrutinizing the male dog maybe you wanted the snout a bit longer like your old dog the tail of it shorter or big paws you're scrutinizing your male cuz you want a new male, or vice versa if you want a female you're scrutinizing the female you want a bit thicker cuz she she whatever or are you're looking for a little black patch on the back or whatever so you got to see have three litters and you have 20 puppies now you got one that's identical to your genotypes obviously there and you see one that looks just like your female that you want so you pick her out now you have your phenotype. Now the hardest part now is environment because it's it's a lot it's very environmental right if you try to treat it just like your old dog and keep the conditions just the same so that she got your old dog back but that's very difficult because you could leave her alone and you can go out with your wife to the movies or something and someone kicks your dog and ass or your kid hits it in the head with a bat changes its temperament right so now you're back to square one and you got to try to find another one and it could take you forever but but the phenotype I think is more in the male the female or X Y chromosome however not all traits you might be female in your female nowadays it alot to research and figure out less breeding involved. I could be wrong but I think it's more than a male or female so if you want the male you're scrutinizing the male for the snout the tail of the paws the colorings if you want the female or scrutinizing the females but basically you just breed to the same breed and that's your genotype and then your phenotype is like a longer tail smaller tail longer smaller snout one black spot. Or one brown and I want blue eye whatever your old dog had that's that's what you're looking for in your phenotype and your sex. I could be wrong but as soon as I hear pheno phenotype phenotype that just screams sex to me that screams female male just basic language man you know I just jumps right out at me I can feel it in like in me I'm thinking my blood bro people talking that s*** for 10,000 years now. It's like milk you know what I mean people in Vietnam in North Korea they're lactose intolerant people from where I'm from we die without that s*** I'll have to kill you if I can't get my milk you know what I mean. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/209.171.85.217" title="Special:Contributions/209.171.85.217">209.171.85.217</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:209.171.85.217" title="User talk:209.171.85.217">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-209.171.85.217-20230613120200-Male_vs_female_phenotype" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-209.171.85.217-20230613120200-Male_vs_female_phenotype"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-209.171.85.217-20230613120200-Male_vs_female_phenotype"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype" data-mw-thread-id="h-Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype-20230629174500"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype-20230629174500"></span>Proposed merge of <a href="/wiki/Phenome" class="mw-redirect" title="Phenome">Phenome</a> into <a href="/wiki/Phenotype" title="Phenotype">Phenotype</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype-20230629174500"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Phenotype&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Proposed merge of Phenome into Phenotype"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Fgnievinski-20230629174500-Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype"></span>very wide overlap. <a href="/wiki/User:Fgnievinski" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Fgnievinski">fgnievinski</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Fgnievinski" title="User talk:Fgnievinski">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Phenotype#c-Fgnievinski-20230629174500-Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:45, 29 June 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Fgnievinski-20230629174500-Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Fgnievinski-20230629174500-Proposed_merge_of_Phenome_into_Phenotype"></span> </p> <ul><li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Randykitty-20230630074800-Fgnievinski-20230629174500"></span>Support</b>.
