FTFY since we don't inherit 100% of both our parents' DNA.

[–]ironny 3 points4 points ago

Came in here to see if someone said this! There are certain traits that do mix or show both when inherited. They are called incomplete dominance or codominance, respectively.

How is this funny ?

[–]YOU_TOOK_MY_USERNAME 1 point2 points ago

This is far from funny...

[–]DoorLord 1 point2 points ago

Some people have different opinions on what is funny.

P.s sorry for taking your username.

Yea I guess. There are close to 7 billion people.

I don't think OP was talking about the shirt, I think they were saying that the kid was white.

Why do I think this is always JFK?

If anyone is wondering where this picture was taken, it was taken at the famous boardwalk in Deauville in Normandy (France).

[–]shakerLife 1 point2 points ago

I figured it was Atlantic City, but of course there's more than one boardwalk in the world...

[–]nixle 0 points1 point ago

Raw genetic action right there!

[–]NumblyBumbly 0 points1 point ago

I never knew stripe genes were co-dominant.

[–]cancernigger 0 points1 point ago

I think it'd be funny if the baby was black.

[–]ruckemtiltheyscrum 0 points1 point ago

his swimsuit is...

[–]djdoubleyew 0 points1 point ago

I had to come to the comments to see what this had to do with genetics. Those are shirts, not genes guys.

[–]XxLikeXaXBossxX 1 point2 points ago

incomplete codominance!

[–]JM-G652 -1 points0 points ago

Caught in Deauville, Normandy, France.

[–]Scribbl3d_Out -1 points0 points ago

This took me a lot longer to figure out than it should have.

[–]VeRiTaS_CuRaT -3 points-2 points ago

It would be funny if it were JEANS that showed the combination of genes of the parents, but the shirts just kinda ruin it. And confuse me. You mean if my parents had mix-matched shirts I'd be born with criss-crossed shirts?

Also: Rep- Oh, someone already told you.

[–]bluethings -2 points-1 points ago

Incomplete dominance! Yes!

[–]thisfriendo 3 points4 points ago

Co-dominance

[–]bluethings -1 points0 points ago

I think you could look at it either way with this one. But now that you mention it, I can see co-dominance working

[–]thisfriendo 0 points1 point ago

Incomplete dominance is a mix of the two traits in a heterozygote (P: red X white, F1: Pink). Co-dominance is both traits fully expressed in a heterozygote, as it is in this case.

[–]bluethings 0 points1 point ago

I know what they are, but I was looking at it as nonspecific patterns 1, 1.5, and 2. Almost as if the patterns were just colors or shades. I've always thought of co-dominance as you see both traits expressed independently, like in spots on a dog, and incomplete as being 2 separate colors (or patterns in this case) combining to create a whole new pattern (stripes into a grid). That's why I said I could see both working, but now that I have been sufficiently corrected...

[–]tatertot1000 -1 points0 points ago

I had this on a test, it's only codominance
