Gay Genetics

Tweet

Anyone who is an expert in genetics please correct me if I am wrong. According to the rule of genetics traits of a person come from their parents. Although some traits of the child may not be found in either parent. This is explained by saying that some traits come from earlier in the family, and skipped the parents, but showed up in their child. And if the trait cannot be found anywhere in the family then it is said that the trait is a mutation. So if traits have to come from a parent or earlier in the family then the beginning of that family would have to have all of the traits that the present child has. This would be divided up between the first member of the mother's side of the family and that of the dad's. Being that no one can have many different eye colors it would mean that only one eye color in the family was true, and the rest mutations. The same with all the other traits. So most traits of a child or possibly all traits would be mutations. It is also said that the stronger trait prevails. So when the mother supplies her genetic information and the dad does the stronger traits win. A stronger trait would be a trait that shows up most in a family. But if this is true then the first person in the family would have to have all of these traits. Because if they only had one trait. Let's say brown eyes, then of course the dominate trait would be brown eyes, and it would get passed down throughout. The same with all the other traits. So every person would look and act exactly alike. Of course this too could be explained away with mutations. So if someone is gay that would mean that the first person in their bloodline would have to be gay or there is a mutation somewhere in the family bloodline. Either in an earlier family member or in that person itself. Let's look further at mutations. Mutations are caused by radiation, viruses, transposons and mutagenic chemicals, as well as errors that occur during meiosis or DNA replication. Mutation can result in several different types of change in sequences; these can either have no effect, alter the product of a gene, or prevent the gene from functioning properly or completely. Due to the damaging effects that mutations can have on genes, organisms have mechanisms such as DNA repair to prevent mutations. -source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation Fortunately, mutations are very rare. They occur on an average of perhaps once in every ten million duplications of a DNA molecule (107, a one followed by seven zeroes). That’s fairly rare.

Either both mom and dad would have to be gay or one of them would have a strong gay gene. So let's say the dad is the first of his bloodline and he is straight. In order for there to be a gay gene passed on the mother would have to have a strong gay gene in her family. If she was the first in her family's bloodline then the trait is less likely to get passed on. As the family bloodline progresses these weaker traits would get weaker and weaker making the possibility of passing a gay gene even more rare. But if the gay gene is stronger and does get passed on then it would show up more and more further along the family as the weaker ones are disposed of leaving the strongest traits. So the traits that are strongest today would have always been the strongest. Mutations would have no effect on this due to the rarity of gene mutations. In order for a gay gene to be passed on the majority of the first humans in a bloodline would have had to have been gay. But this would go against the genetics of a person that are for reproduction and survival. This would tell you that a gay gene could not possibly be a normal genetic structure. It would have to be a mutation. But again mutations are very rare. So in short a gay gene would be extremely extremely rare and would have to be a recently mutated gene. What would this mean? Most people who claim they are gay are not. They choose to be gay. Or that there is no gay gene, and all gay people choose to be gay.
