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

That is just stupid

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

are you speaking in terms of melanin content?

and eye color

There are also multiple genetic pairs that go into your IQ and your height

yes, but the dominance and recessive relationship still holds

@meratrix this is why mixed race children with the same parents can have varying skin tones

But that doesn't render the other parent's genes futile

@radeon yep

it does when they aren't dominant

no, it renders them more irrelivent

@radeon They can, but they will never be either 100% white or 100% black

Cum is white therefore everyone is white.

Problem solved.

and if they have mostly recessive genes, then they are completley meaningless

there are a finite number of genes you have you don't retain every gene from your parents

you get the ones that were dominant

unless of course you get the same gene from both parentsa which everybody does because thats what makes us all human, but thats not important
