The turning 'on' or 'off' would change the expression and thereby the organism genotype.

Or in this 'Q'pause its Palantir.

Nope, try again. The genotype is defined by the base pairs. The expression, is whether or not a particular segment is directing anything to _happen_ at a point in time:

genotype (jĕnˈə-tīpˌ, jēˈnə-)►

n. The genetic makeup, as distinguished from the physical appearance, of an organism or a group of organisms.

n. The combination of alleles located on homologous chromosomes that determines a specific characteristic or trait.
