Which parent gives you the most dominant genes?






-An undergraduate from Indiana
October 12, 2011

Except for a few special cases (see below), it doesn't really matter which parent gave you which gene. If a gene version is dominant, it will dominate whether it came from mom or dad.
So your chances of getting a dominant trait don't depend on which parent it came from. If mom gives you the dominant brown eye version of an eye color gene, odds are you'll end up with brown eyes. Same thing if dad passes the same gene. In neither case would you have higher odds for getting brown eyes.
Now that isn't to say that if mom has brown eyes then all her kids will too. They could end up with the other parent's recessive blue or green eyes. Or an eye color that neither parent has!
This is how brown-eyed parents end up with a blue-eyed child. Or how two parents who don't have red hair have a redheaded baby.
As you can see, genetics is a complicated business. But one thing we do know...no one is more likely to favor one parent over the other. Which traits you get depend on the combination of genes you get from both parents.
What I'll do for the rest of the answer is explain a bit about how genes work. Then I'll focus on some situations where the parents do matter. As you'll see, this is usually when a trait is on the X chromosome.

What if the child has neither mother's or father's eye color (of corse may have the milkman's eye color)? Is is possible to get some other eye color?

genes we are not directly inheriting ..it is spliced,re combined , under go mutations and transfer..therefore it does mean any milk man ...even dark parents sometimes have white baby..it depends on the density of melanin and of course climatic conditions and environment..if we chew betel (green) leaf, kottai pakku (dark gray) with calcium (white in color), we will get reddish juice..these are all mix of chemicals in different proportions and the passage of proteins

Dark parents having light skinned kids is fairly common cos a dark skinned individual might be carrying a fair skin gene and its like how 2 brown eyed produce a blue eyed baby.

This only i told mix of races but you previously disagreed...Even intelligence is passed in that way to other races. Varna may not literally mean races i know...but still it is based on GUNA and kARMA (Characteristics and work)..This actually was a natural division of labour or classes which is accepted by communists.

 

[vignesh2014]

Even Russia 4 divisions or classes is there..In Management theory also they say, "Creative, inventive" , "Intelligent very hard working", "Not so intelligent but hard working" (may be now a days we can say smart working), "Not intelligent, Not very hard working (may be not smart working)"...In this if 1&3 combined 2&4 combined give better results in a team.

 

[vignesh2014]

Guna is based on food habits ...satvic food gives satva guna (if taken from young age), Rajasic food gives rajo guna and tamasic food gives tamo guna..since we have varied food habits..all the three gunas exists but in different proportions in each individual..Even Yagna and the way these people act..leads to society's contribution and also leads to diffferent types of gods and godessess

Very cleverly ignored the fact that Caste is by birth in common usage.
We have forgotten the Gita's definition of caste by gunas.

True..in fact some people are doing great disservice to the Bhagavad Geeta by claiming that Caste is by White race,Red Race,Yellow Race and Black Race..Lord Krishna never spoke on those lines..all He said was Varna is based on Gunas.

 

[vignesh2014]

Kindly understand that varna may be based on that .This is not disservice everybody have their own interpretation of GITA ..that does not mean that they do disservice...caste is rigid based system ...varna is not rigid...This interpretation of (CHATUR VARNYAM) is not directly wrong because sanskrit it is having different meanings for the same word...one the meaning is race..it is not caste...it is necessary because now a days reservation is given to people who don't deserve reservation by racial, caste and group.They are already intelligent and why should you give reservation to add insult to injury spoiling fair competition.

 

[vignesh2014]

Everything is adapted and interpreted wrongly without knowing proper sanskrit just by reading english author's books. It is the way we have to think since everybody just like without knowing anything in sanskrit interpret in their own way. If VARNA is not race if it is not caste or it is not color what is it? ..Can any Sanskrit scholars reply?....GUNA AND KARMA is based on varna (Varna is not skin color but the internal characteristic or gene trait..what is wrong is interpreting in that way when we can't say GUNA because GUNA now a days changing and there is no pure GUNA...It requires interpretation to help people not to demean people. This knowledge is already mixed up knowledge ...if puranas interpreted by people who don't have sanskrit knowledge ..why can't this be interpreted in this way. Everybody should get equal opportunity..that is my point of view according to their gene mapping. There is nothing wrong in this because even Tiruvalluvar "ITHANI ITHANAL IVAN KAN IVAN MUDIKKUM ENRAIYNDU ATHANAI AVAN KAN VIDAL"..there fore jobs or training should be given to right person..otherwise society will be in chaos..It needs some deep and unselfish thinking without LOL (LOLLU)

You seem to contradict yourself at times.. you say the Caste is a rigid based system but Varna is not rigid..

But in another thread you asked me how come as a Non Brahmin I managed to gain knowledge??

This shows that you are rigidly linking knowledge with caste and now you are singing a different tune here by saying by saying that those who are having reservation are already intelligent and hence do not need reservation....I thought you were wondering how a Non Brahmin can have knowledge?? LOL

Make up your mind yaar..what you actually want to write...you seem to be swinging like a pendulum in midair and no where to land.

That's why all the fallacies and white race combination already given intelligence to all people of india. why should there be reservation based on caste ..it is rigid...but in all castes intelligent and non intelligent people are there..therefore reservation should be not caste based or block based ...Social status based ...even brahmins who are not having proper income and doing all menial jobs..every caste there are people who are in lower strata...therefore it should be economic based and in society how they are being perceived...You can't say by caste they are forward or backward..what is wrong in this..i don't know except for people who want all for themselves without denying the proper right for others...when in mahabharata day when a karna or ekaliva was discriminated by injustice , everybody started rallying around them..even ambedkar or our previous constitution of india never advacted these type of reservations...i'm not dilly dallying. when a person is intelligent and capable of coming up themselves with their society's social status improved with government jobs, wealthy posession, status should be given reservation?..what is wrong in this ...This is real social justice..not this pseudo social justice which classify people as forward even they don't have basic amenities to fulfill

 

[vignesh2014]

Bhavagad gita never advocated reservation...it says people should be allowed to grow according to their natural characteristics..it says to adapt swadharma..if everyone is fighting for something, there should be equal way to compete rather than compartmentalized system in which knowledgable,wealthy, having power, having majority of population are given reservation purely for the sake of politician's power attaining everything by corrupt means.

 

[vignesh2014]

Lord Krishna is universal god..Jagath Guru...Even Sankara Charya or Advaita philosophy is universal..why do you want to restrict Lord Krishna that he created only the people here?

 

[vignesh2014]

All world people are previously Jambu Dweepa people only ..and there was previously only one undivided continent.just like the way Ramar Palam (RAMA SETU) is called as Adam's bridge they have given a name as PANGEA...just like the way even though 84 lakhs species were there, they said only dinosour exisisted...even though not human beings are looking alike they say every person came from African descendent..and humans divesified from the lieneage of apes..These are all myths or reality i don't know...In every science also myth is there (that is unproven things)...in every purana stories also truth is there (UNMAIYUM, POIYUM kalanthathu than ulagam)

 

[vignesh2014]

Whatever i told about intelligence is not about your general intelligence , purana type of knowledge that also i know since lot of books are there and even non brahmins giving discourses, yes you can gain knowledge. But interpretation of knowledge is more important for the sake of the society rather than using it for our selfish purpose. Whomever got the intrinsic problems themselves can only understand other's problems.Every saint faced problems and thought about the society. Therefore facing problems nobody can get the real knowledge.Even without travelling throughout india Gandhi, Buddha, Jesus, Vivekananda would not have gained this universal knowledge. Even Gandhi is not against Varna system.

This is a scene from a Visu movie and I still dont understand the logic of how he equates paku and betel leaves to genes. .

I dont know about genetics and all, but in my family I notice whoever is dominant( in all aspects) gets the child of their gender.

 

[vignesh2014]

Every race is having its own Guna and Karma. Even westerners never think like , act like Indian, Chinese and Africans. Every race is unique..what is wrong in saying that this is also based on their guna and karma (Here Varna if it is not race or color , at least it con notates that they act in different , different ways. Even in Bhavagad Gita " EDU NATANTHTHO ADHU NANRAGAVE NADANTHTATU"..it is now called "GITA SARA"..but it is not told by Lord Krishna. May be we can say "NATAKKA VENDIYA MURAIYIL NADANTHATHU"..what is wrong when Krishna never told that these 4 varnas are Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vysya and Shudra...The forward caste only interpreted in that way...BG was written several centuries back.Whatever written or told aeons ago definitely will not have the originality of the told person.If something is good for the society, why can't we interpret in this way and do the needful for the welfare of the society.
