Inside of each cell of the human body is a nucleus.  Inside of it are genes and chromosomes.  Inside of those are complex strands of proteins and amino acids that together are calle deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA.  This DNA contains the "blueprint" for an entire human being.  When two people mate, their DNA gets combined to form a new human, unique but having many characteristics shared by the parents' DNA.  Have you ever heard the term "genetic lottery"?  This is because each time the DNA from two humans is combined to make a third new human, the combination of DNA is to an extent random.  Only to an extent.  I inherited my mother's bad vision and my father's bad teeth.  I inherited my father's nose.  But I am taller than either of my parents.  My hair is a completely different color than either of theirs.  Sometimes DNA, genes, and chromosomes are imperfectly formed.  Each gene controls certain characteristics about a human being.  Completely normal parents can wind up having a baby with Downs' Syndrome (Mongolism, a type of mental and physical retardation).  Completely normal parents can wind up having a dwarf baby.  But other problems are passed down directly from one generation to the next.  Hemophilia is one example, the people whose blood won't clot.  They can bleed to death from a cut.  If they fall they can bleed internally until they die.  Hemophilia is passed down from one generations to the next in the female line.  Queen Victoria, who was related to most of the people of the royal and imperial houses of pre-World War One Europe, was a carrier of the genetic defect of hemophilia.  The women who carry this are usually immune to it.  It is the boys they give birth to that can suffer and die from uninterrupted bleeding due to this genetic defect.  How to prevent one's son from being hemophiliac if one is a female carrier?  Adopt.

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=16378\n\nYou need to read the book by Hamer- don't think you will find out enough without the book. Explicit biochem is rarely spelled out for the lay person in generic articles because people are too dumb to understand it.\n\n"\nHamer studied 2,000 DNA samples. He interviewed 2,000 people extensively (226 questions in each interview). The questions, among other things, looked at how spiritual a person is and what their level of faith in God is. \n\nHe found that the VMAT2 Gene was significantly more common among people who believed in a higher spiritual being. According to his research, whether or not your upbringing is religious has no bearing on how religious you turn out to be - but the presence of the VMAT2 Gene version does. "\n\nYou need to focus on this ASPECT in your paper, don't plagiarize. The details on mechanism of action of protein etc.. should be found in the book. Do not forget to cite the article link I pasted above.\n\nThe God Gene - How Faith is Hard Wired into our Genes is the book. Buy it fast if time is of the essence!

Such characteristics are shaped by the chromosomes you receive from your parents. There's a gene for every color of eye, color of hair, thickness of hair, color of skin, thickness of skin, shape of eyes, weight, height, life span, character, etc.\n\nEvery person receives information for every part from 2 people, so it will have 2 probably eye color, hair color, etc. Even when only one will appear, that person still can give the other gene to a child.

Well... completele dominance means that if the allele shows up at all in the gene, it totally dominates.\n\nA completely made up example: Let's say that a long tail is COMPLETE dominance...  T = Long Tail t = short tail.  So if the gene goes: TT or Tt, the cat has a long tail.  It only has a short tail if the gene goes: tt.\n\nIncomplete dominance is when neither allele takes full control.  So the same example with the cat would be very different.  TT would still mean a long tail.  But Tt would equal a medium-length tail as a blend between the long tail (T) and the short tail (t).  \n\nI'm not sure if that explains it very well... another good way to look at it is with colors...  If a flower's color is determined by incomplete dominance and it has a red allele and a white allele, the flower will be pink, or a MIXTURE of the red and white.  \n\nI hope that helps.

Achondroplasia is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene that causes abnormal cartilage formation. Autosomal dominant inheritance means that the gene is located on one of the autosomes (chromosome pairs 1 through 22). This means that males and females are equally affected. Dominant means that only one gene is necessary to have the trait. When a parent has a dominant trait, there is a 50 percent chance that any child they have will also inherit the trait. So, in some cases, the child inherits the achondroplasia from a parent with achondroplasia. The majority of achondroplasia cases (80 percent), however, are the result of a new mutation in the family - the parents are of average height and do not have the abnormal gene.\n\nAs mentioned, persons with achondroplasia have a 50 percent chance to pass the gene to a child, resulting in the condition. If both parents have achondroplasia, with each pregnancy, there is a 50 percent chance to have a child with achondroplasia, a 25 percent chance that the child will not inherit the gene and be of average height, and a 25 percent chance that the child will inherit one abnormal gene from each parent, which can lead to severe skeletal problems that often result in early death.\n\nGeneticists have found that fathers who are older than 45 have a higher chance of having children with certain autosomal dominant conditions such as achondroplasia, but no cause for the new mutations in sperm has been discovered at this time.\n\nThe gene responsible for achondroplasia was discovered in 1994 making accurate prenatal diagnosis available, in most cases.

Very simply put, dominance and recessiveness are characteristics of genes.\n\nA dominant gene is expressed (shows up visibly in the offspring) when only one copy of the gene is present, on one chromosome from one parent. Let's say Tallness is a Dominant gene. If you have ONE tall parent, and get ONE copy of the Tall gene, you will probably be tall. If your tall parent was the son or daughter of a TALL and a SHORT person, they may only have ONE copy of that gene. If you get both SHORT chromosomes from Mom and DAD, you will NOT be tall. So you have 50 to 100 chance of being tall with a Dominant gene.\n\nNow, let's take the gene for BLUE eyes. It is recessive. You need TWO copies of this gene to get blue eyes. If Mom has blue eyes and Dad has blue eyes, and you get copies of both blue eye genes, you will have blue eyes. But if Mom has blue eyes, and Dad has brown eyes, you might end up with Brown eyes. Don't that make your blue eyes brown, so to speak.\n\nBUT..if Dad's mom had blue eyes and Dad's dad brown (your grandparents) and if Dad has one blue eye gene and one brown eye gene and has brown eyes AND if your Mom still has those blue peepers, you have a 1/4 chance of ending up with one blue eyed gene from AND a blue eyed gene from Dad and you will also have blue eyes like your Mum. Don't that make your brown eyes...blue?

i think u mean lethal?\nlethal genes are those that can be fatal to the organism if it is expressed-usually resulting in the production of toxins in the body-semi-lethal genes are similar only they may impair specific functions. sub vital genes are certain genes that are required only for certain higly specific tasks and not expressed everyday by the organism

He did not call it the "gene" he called it a "factor" He is the one and only Gregor Mendel!\n\nHere,\n\nGregor Mendel and Mendelian Genetics\n\nMendel\n\nGregor Johann Mendel was born on July 22, 1822 to peasant parents in a small agrarian town in Czechoslovakia. During his childhood he worked as a gardener, and as a young man attended the Olmutz Philosophical Institute. In 1843 he entered aAugustinian monastery in Brunn, Czechoslovakia.\n\nOlmutz Class He was later sent to the University of Vienna to study. By both his professors at University and his colleagues at the monastery, Mendel was inspired to study variance in plants. He commenced his study in his monastery's experimental garden. Between 1856 and 1863 Mendel cultivated and tested some 28,000 pea plants. His experiments brought forth two generalizations which later became known as Mendel's Laws of Heredity. Ironically, when Mendel's paper was published on 1866, it had little impact. It wasn't until the early 20th century that the enormity of hisideas was realized.\nMendel's Law of Segregation\n\nMendel's hypothesis essentially has four parts. The first states that "Alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characters." In a nutshell, this is the concept of alleles. Alleles are different versions of genes that impart the same characteristic. Each human has a gene that controls height, but there are variations among these genes in accordance with the specific height the gene "codes" for. The second, "For each character, an organism inherits two genes, one from each parent", alludes to the fact that when somatic cells are produced from two gametes, one allele comes from the mother, one from the father. These alleles may be the same (true-breeding organisms), or different (hybrids). The third law, in relation to the second, declares that, "If the two alleles differ, then one, the dominant allele, is fully expressed in the organism's appearance; the other, the recessive allele, has no noticeable effect on the organism's appearance." "The two genes for each character segregate during gamete production," is the last part of Mendel's generalization. This references meiosis when the chromosome count is changed from the diploid number to the haploid number. The genes are sorted into separate gametes, ensuring variation.\nMendel's Law of Independent Assortment\n\nThe most important principle of Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment is that the emergence of one trait will not effect the emergence of another. While his experiments mixing one trait always resulted in a 3:1 ratio between dominant and recessive phenotypes, his experiments with two traits showed 9:3:3:1 ratios. Mendel's findings allowed other scientists to simplify the emergence of traits to mathematical probability. A large portion of Mendel's spectacular findings can be traced to his proper usage of the scientific method. His choice of peas as a subject for his experiments is extraordinarily lucky. Peas have a relatively simple genetic structure. Also, Mendel could always be in control of the plants' breeding. When Mendel wanted to cross-pollinate a pea plant he needed only to remove the immature stamen of the plant. In this way he was always exactly sure of his plants' parents. Mendel made certain to start his experiments only with true breeding plants. He also only measured absolute characteristics such as color, shape, and position of the offspring. His data was expressed numerically and subjected to statistical analysis. This method of data reporting and the large sampling size he used gave credibility to his data. He also had the foresight to look through several successive generations of his pea plants and record their variations. Without his careful attention to procedure and detail, Mendel's work could not have had the impact it made on the world of g

DNA Code VMAT2\nDean Hammer, chief of gene structure and regulation at the Laboratory of Biochemistry at the National Cancer Institute has cast doubt on the fact that it is spiritual enlightenment from Heavenly forces that nourishes our faith in God. \nAccording to him, this process has to do with certain electrical impulses that take place in the brain, or rather within the genes. Such statement resulted in major criticism from religious authorities.\nDean Hammer is especially well-known for his 1993 discovery of a gene responsible for one's homosexual predilection. \nIn accordance with the researcher's hypothesis, deeply religious people possess a particular gene in their bodies which bears the name of VMAT2. Atheists, on the contrary, lack such gene. Hammer was able to prove his initial hypothesis after conducting a study involving more than 2000 peoples' DNA samples.\nHammer doesn't rule out the possibility that the so-called "faith gene" could have been inherited by Christians from Jesus Christ himself, whereas Muslims could have inherited it from Prophet Muhammad. The professor also mentions Buddha; although the latter hasn't actually been referred to as God. \nIf were to implement Hammer's logical way of thinking, it could also be said that Satanists possess devil"s genes and those who strongly believe in UFOs have in fact inherited some alien genes. This may seem like nonsense at first. However, it is also highly likely that this VMAT2 gene could possess universal quality awakening peoples' inner desires to perceive spiritual and/or mystical realms.\nThe research does not intend to undermine the existence of God, claims Hammer. On the contrary, the existence of the "faith gene" only proves Creator's greatness.

If it is inhereted then you need to go see a genetic counsseler. They will trace your family pedegree for the trait and find out if it is dominant or reccesive and the likelyhood of passing it on. But as a fair warning if it is somewhat rare and the effects show in you then it is probably reccesive so you have a 100% chance of passing it on. However if it is reccesive and your partener does not pass it on then it wont effect your kids :) ...\n\nsorry if you already know this, my point is you should se a genetic counseler. They will tell you everything you need to know.
