Except intelligence is not controlled by a single gene

2017-11-06 20:01:00 UTC  

genetics don't work with averages

2017-11-06 20:01:10 UTC  

let me explain it to you how this works

2017-11-06 20:01:22 UTC  

think of your genetic code as a wrestling team

2017-11-06 20:01:31 UTC  

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

2017-11-06 20:01:53 UTC  

Btw we still dont know what the majority of our genes do

2017-11-06 20:02:02 UTC  

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

2017-11-06 20:02:10 UTC  

If the other parents gene is recessive than it has no affect as long as the other gene is dominant

2017-11-06 20:02:12 UTC  

I meant DNA sorry

2017-11-06 20:02:16 UTC  
2017-11-06 20:02:16 UTC  

the child will be the winners if you pair up those two teams

2017-11-06 20:02:19 UTC  

the dominant gene

2017-11-06 20:02:48 UTC  

@Boris Todbringer You honestly know absolutley nothing about genetics

2017-11-06 20:02:49 UTC  

its not like you have literally every gene from both parents

2017-11-06 20:03:01 UTC  

Genes do not work like averages

2017-11-06 20:03:49 UTC  

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

2017-11-06 20:04:09 UTC  

thats factually untrue

2017-11-06 20:04:38 UTC  

your height is largely random within a specific range

2017-11-06 20:04:46 UTC  

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

2017-11-06 20:04:54 UTC  

That is just stupid

2017-11-06 20:04:58 UTC  

for all we know 6'1 is short for the dads family and you inherit the dads gene and become 6'5

2017-11-06 20:04:59 UTC  

height is actually largely determined by genes interacting with the environment

2017-11-06 20:05:04 UTC  

not just the genes themselves

2017-11-06 20:05:14 UTC  

> genes interacting with the environment

2017-11-06 20:05:20 UTC  

are you trolling us?

2017-11-06 20:05:32 UTC  

me?

2017-11-06 20:05:33 UTC  

no

2017-11-06 20:05:42 UTC  

The environment that you grow up in has no effect on your genetic makeup, lmao

2017-11-06 20:05:44 UTC  

the environment does have an effect on the human body

2017-11-06 20:05:47 UTC  

how do genes interact with anything but other genes

2017-11-06 20:05:56 UTC  

It doesn't have an effect on your genes, stupid @meratrix

2017-11-06 20:06:15 UTC  

lol don't try to use this as a gotcha you're still wrong

2017-11-06 20:06:25 UTC  

stunted growth from disease for example,you may have been tall, but if growth is stunted that won't happen

2017-11-06 20:06:43 UTC  

but thats not genetic

2017-11-06 20:07:02 UTC  

yes, but it is part of height, which he brought up

2017-11-06 20:07:10 UTC  

trying to get a gotcha

2017-11-06 20:07:11 UTC  

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

2017-11-06 20:07:30 UTC  

If your gene theory were to be correct, that would be the result

2017-11-06 20:07:32 UTC  

no, because there are multiple genetic pairs that go into pigmentation

2017-11-06 20:07:36 UTC  

same with hair color

2017-11-06 20:07:36 UTC  

are you speaking in terms of melanin content?
