The childs shirt is an example of.

a) A dominant gene

b) Co-dominance

c) Incomplete dominance

d) X-linked recessive

Oh yes, this cute picture must surely represent how genetics works. I shall up vote this also.

I recognise that beach, pretty sure it is Deauville in Normandy.

Are most genes codominant? For some reason I have it in my head that dominant/recessive traits are more common, which makes this picture misleading.

man_in_the_mirra i see you post too much you have a reddit problem We must speak of it now run on sentence because people care about that shit on reddit because its cool

This is an image I've seen before.

Whatever inherent value this image contains I can no longer ascertain because I have seen it at least 100 times in the past year.

Downvoted, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[deleted] · 6 months

Ah, yes, this image makes the front page every time as long as you have "Genetics." as the submission title.

Anyone looking for an image to karma whore with, this one right here is perfect.

Makes me think of Pi, "The Hebrew word for father, 'Ab' - Alef Bet... 1, 2 equals 3...Hebrew word for mother, 'em' - Alef Mem... 1, 40 equals 41. Sum of 3 and 41... 44...Hebrew word for child, 'Yeled' - that's 10, 30, and 4... 44"

Also makes me think of pie.

Who took this photograph? Was it Cartier-Bresson?

[deleted] · 6 months

I learned from the last time I saw this photo that no one on reddit will ever be satisfied with this explanation of genetics. Ironically, it's a lot like discussing irony on here. You can pretty much take any comment in this thread, turn your nose up at it, and proclaim, "that's not real genetics/irony/dubstep."

Now do one for epigenetics (where changes in gene expression occur during an orgasms life time but are not passed on to the germ line) or

In biology, and specifically genetics, epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence, hence the name epi- (Greek: επί- over, above) -genetics. ...

SuperBlooperYup · 6 months

Genetics doesn't work like that. If a male and female reproduce you get either a male or a female, not a hermaphrodite. It's all or nothing, not a mix of both...jussayin'

Would be perfect if the kid were wearing Capri pants.

Buckwheat469 · 6 months

This doesn't take into account gene dominance. Obviously the horizontal lines on the man are bolder, signifying dominance. The woman has more vertical lines total, which could also indicate a form of dominance.

Line Direction: vertical - lady in background has vertical lines, indicating that vertical must be more dominant in our small test set.
Thickness: thicker - man has much thicker lines, while woman in the background has medium thickness lines. The people in the far back have one-color shirts which could indicate really thick lines which eventually merged to make one solid color over the course of several generations.

Hypothesis: The child should gain thick vertical lines, not hashed lines.

That would either be codominant trait or blending which is not Mendelian.

by that logic, the kid is a hermaphrodite

LettersFromTheSky · 6 months

This is pretty clever, although I have to ask - where did the hat for the kid come from? A distant ancestral relative?

This is not how genetics works, genetics is not purely additive. Recombination alone would break this image.

Eaux · 6 months

This isn't how genetics works at all! He should have inherited vertical or horizontal stripes, assuming there is one gene with alleles for both. If there are two separate genes for each kind of stripe to be expressed then this is possible, though. In any case it's a bad tie in to Mendelian genetics and essentially lines up with many idea that Mendel disproved. /rant

It'd be better if a dude with a dotted t-shirt was walking by, and the kid had stripes and dots.
