Sorry it took me so long to get to this, but I'm ready to do a second review now. --Cerebellum (talk) 16:46, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   In the first sentence of the lead, would it be OK to replace A gene is a locus (or region) of DNA with A gene is a segment of DNA? It would be simpler, and it's what the caption of the first image says. However, if there's a big difference between the terms locus and segment then it can stay as it is. Other than that though, I made a few minor changes but the prose is generally good.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Great job specifying the page numbers from Molecular Biology of the Cell! I added a couple of refs to the section on Mendel.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   As before, the images are fantastic.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Thanks for all the work on this, and sorry again to keep you waiting so long for a review! Everything looks good to me though, so I'm closing this review as pass and promoting the article to GA. --Cerebellum (talk) 17:22, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you to everyone who aided in getting this article up to GA level. It was definitely a job worth doing and hopefully sets a reasonable standard for the high-importance biology articles. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 00:02, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
