Article title: Allele frequency
Article Evaluation: Sections: Introduction -and allele frequencies can be calculated from genotype frequencies. - this sentence could use an example of how the genotype freqency can be used. Calculations: Would probably be better with a diagram, but the allele diagrams on wiki commons aren't what I was thinking Dynamics: This section needs a lot of work. - within this section, it seems like all of the sentences are trying to say the same thing, but with different words The Hardy–Weinberg lawdescribes the expected equilibrium genotype frequencies in a diploid population after random mating - needs a source According to extended evolutionary synthesis adaptation[s] occur due to natural selection, environmental induction, non-genetic inheritance, learning and cultural transmission Even when an allele is selectively neutral, selection acting on nearby genes may also change its allele frequency through hitchhiking or background selection. - needs source

Article title: Dihybrid cross
Article Evaluation: There are a ton of errors in this page, and there are a lot of things that need to be added. The main thing overall is there there is only one source for the entire dihybrid cross article. That is very concerning since Wikipedia recommends a source for every new idea.
Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10721616/ this is the only review article for dihybrid cross, but I think that text books would be more beneficial to have to review information.

Article title: Genotyping
Article Evaluation: This article would be something that is very easy to go through an add sources. The article is extremely short, and for something as large as genotyping, I think that there could be a lot more added. I think that the techniques section could go more into detail about the different ways that people genotype besides just listing all of the possible ways (for this it would be beneficial to review sources that explain the specific types of genotyping)
