The inherent dangers of human inbreeding
Eye color: -Remember, genes contain the information that determines a person's specific physical and biological traits.
Where can it go wrong?: -Certain congenital defects and genetic diseases are carried by recessive genes.
Gene categories: -These genes fall into two categories: dominant and recessive.
Dominant vs. recessive: -What's the difference between dominant and recessive genes? If one of the genes in the pair is dominant.
Hair type: -Similarly, genetic factors appear to play a major role in determining hair texture—straight.
What is inbreeding?: -Inbreeding is defined as the mating of organisms closely related by ancestry.
What do genes determine?: -Genes determine every aspect of our appearance. They contain the information that decides a person's specific physical.
Contrary to procreating: -Inbreeding goes against the biological aim of procreating, which is the mixing of DNA.
The role DNA plays: -Human DNA is arranged into 23 pairs of chromosomes. Within each chromosome there are hundreds of thousands of genes.
The human gene: -Each gene has two copies known as alleles, or matching genes; one from our biological mother, one from our biological father.
