phenotype

• “We now know that genes modulate biological processes rather than features or traits by themselves, and that the phenotype is the net result of many processes.”

  David Anderson on Creation and Evolution

• “On the other hand, the metabolically normal obese phenotype, is exemplified by numerous small and functional adipocytes, and thus a normal metabolic profile, despite a high BMI.”

• “I believe this type of contingency therefore, to be a necessary condition for any change in phenotype requiring more than rudimentary changes genetically, (more than single point mutations certainly), IF, (and that's a big "IF"), those changes occur via the Darwinian mechanism.”

  Assessing Fault

• “This explanation seems unlikely to us because the Cit+ phenotype is characteristic of the entire species, one that is very diverse and therefore very old.”

  Assessing Fault

• “Daniel Smith: I believe this type of contingency therefore, to be a necessary condition for any change in phenotype requiring more than rudimentary changes genetically, (more than single point mutations certainly), IF, (and that's a big "IF"), those changes occur via the Darwinian mechanism.”

  Assessing Fault

• “The expression of genes is called the phenotype, and it is influenced by a host of different factors, many of them environmental.”

  Simon & Schuster: The Chemistry of Calm

• “A phenotype is what a set of genes make: a whole living creature.”

  Upsetting insights

• “Perhaps not NDS specifically, but "modern evolutionary theory," "standard model of evolution" and whatever else you want to call it has always assumed evolution proceeds by incremental small changes in phenotype by virtue of the relative success of certain minor variations.”

  Approaching Difference, Not Likeness

• “The cause and effect relationship between genes and phenotype is observable.”

  Another predictable argument against front-loading

• “We need to distinguish between two things: Gene-centrism, according to which all the information required to construct the phenotype is located in the genome (although the environment may also have a slight influence); and genetic determinism, according to which all human behavior, whether religion, temperament, or tendency to commit rape is determined by the genes.”
