That's not how genetics work
Except intelligence is not controlled by a single gene
genetics don't work with averages
let me explain it to you how this works
think of your genetic code as a wrestling team
Even if the white parent has the dominant gene, the IQ will likely not be higher than 105 regardless. Are you impliying that the other parent's genes have no influence on the child's genetic makeup? @meratrix
Btw we still dont know what the majority of our genes do
eaach gene is a wrestler, and the other set of genes from the other parent are a roughly equivieent team with some genes weaker but some stronger
If the other parents gene is recessive than it has no affect as long as the other gene is dominant
I meant DNA sorry
the child will be the winners if you pair up those two teams
the dominant gene
@Boris Todbringer You honestly know absolutley nothing about genetics
its not like you have literally every gene from both parents
Genes do not work like averages
If your dad is 6'1 and your mother is 4'11 you have a much lower chance of being more than 6'1 because of the influence your mother's height will have on your height. You clearly don't know anything about genetics either. It is true that the dad's genes may be dominant, but that doesn't render the genes of the other parent completely futile @meratrix
thats factually untrue
your height is largely random within a specific range
If you mix a pygmy with a Nordic, should we expect the child to be either 100% black or 100% white? No, the child would be somewhere in the middle
for all we know 6'1 is short for the dads family and you inherit the dads gene and become 6'5
height is actually largely determined by genes interacting with the environment
not just the genes themselves
> genes interacting with the environment
are you trolling us?
me?
no
The environment that you grow up in has no effect on your genetic makeup, lmao
the environment does have an effect on the human body
how do genes interact with anything but other genes
It doesn't have an effect on your genes, stupid @meratrix
lol don't try to use this as a gotcha you're still wrong
stunted growth from disease for example,you may have been tall, but if growth is stunted that won't happen
but thats not genetic
yes, but it is part of height, which he brought up
trying to get a gotcha
Can you answer my question then? Shouldn't we expect the offpsring between a pygmy from the Congo basin and someone from Northern Europe to either be 100% white or 100% black? That makes no sense @radeon
If your gene theory were to be correct, that would be the result
no, because there are multiple genetic pairs that go into pigmentation
same with hair color
