you clearly don't understand hgow genetics work because you actually aren't a perfect half between your parents

2017-11-06 19:59:02 UTC  

@radeon If you mix a black person with an IQ of 70 with a White person with an IQ of 105 you are going to get a child that has an IQ lower than 105. That is pretty basic genetics

2017-11-06 19:59:09 UTC  

not really

2017-11-06 19:59:33 UTC  

@radeon Never claimed you are a ''perfect half'', but certainly lower

2017-11-06 19:59:33 UTC  

That is not necessarily true, although it appears likely

2017-11-06 19:59:46 UTC  

Very likely, in fact

2017-11-06 19:59:48 UTC  

by your same logic if a person with blue eyes has a child with a person with green eyes their eyes would be teal

2017-11-06 19:59:53 UTC  

that of course isnt the case

2017-11-06 19:59:54 UTC  

Who has the dominant gene?

2017-11-06 20:00:16 UTC  

how do you know the genes that promote higher IQ aren't dominant?

2017-11-06 20:00:17 UTC  

@Boris Todbringer You just showed that you really have no idea how genetics works

2017-11-06 20:00:35 UTC  

I am talking about averages here

2017-11-06 20:00:38 UTC  

The dominant Gene will take over even if the other gene is different

2017-11-06 20:00:42 UTC  

i love this, 4th grader tier genetics

2017-11-06 20:00:45 UTC  

That's not how genetics work

2017-11-06 20:00:57 UTC  

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

2017-11-06 20:05:20 UTC  

are you trolling us?

2017-11-06 20:05:32 UTC  

me?
