Biome/Habitat Animal Printouts. Baby Eye Color Predictor Calculator. The laws of genetics state that eye color is inherited as follows: 1.
If both parents have blue eyes, the children will have blue eyes. 2. The brown eye form of the eye color gene (or allele) is dominant, whereas the blue eye allele is recessive. 3. If both parents have brown eyes yet carry the allele for blue eyes, a quarter of the children will have blue eyes, and three quarters will have brown eyes. What eye color will your baby have?

Will they have blue eyes like theirs? Or will they have striking green eyes like Great Aunt Jane? All babies are born with blue eyes, regardless of the eye colours of their parents. Quick Trait Calculator - Genetic Heredity Calculator. Note These calculators use simplified models to calculate traits and their certainty is far from 100% due to the fact that human genetics is far more complex than a simple mendelian dominant/recessive model.
Personal Report and Heredity Report give better results, providing that you had your genome sequenced by a commercial personal genomics companies like 23andMe, deCODEMe or Family Tree DNA. Color Blind Chart. Pattern baldness in men is a sex-influenced trait.
It is not an X-linked trait like color blindness and hemophilia. Baldness is an autosomal trait and is apparently influenced by sex hormones after people reach 30 years of age or older. This condition is inherited as a simple Mendelian trait, although the biochemical mechanism is complex. There are other causes for baldness not related to simple Mendelian genetics, such as illness, severe stress, and pulling one's hair out by the roots. Acquired traits can be inherited via small RNAs. Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers have found the first direct evidence that an acquired trait can be inherited without any DNA involvement.
The findings suggest that Lamarck, whose theory of evolution was eclipsed by Darwin's, may not have been entirely wrong. The study is slated to appear in the Dec. 9 issue of Cell. Kentucky Blues. The story of an Appalachian malady, an inquisitive doctor, and a paradoxical cure. by Cathy Trost ©Science 82, November, 1982 Six generations after a French orphan named Martin Fugate settled on the banks of eastern 's Troublesome Creek with his redheaded American bride, his great-great-great great grandson was born in a modern hospital not far from where the creek still runs.

The stem cell controversy is the ethical debate centered only with research involving the creation, usage, and destruction of human embryos.
Most commonly, this controversy focuses on embryonic stem cells. Not all stem cell research involves the creation, usage and destruction of human embryos. For example, adult stem cells, amniotic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells do not involve creating, using or destroying human embryos and thus are minimally, if at all, controversial. Background[edit] Since stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any type of cell, they offer something in the development of medical treatments for a wide range of conditions. X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy. X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic disorder that occurs primarily in males.
It mainly affects the nervous system and the adrenal glands, which are small glands located on top of each kidney. In this disorder, the fatty covering (myelin) that insulates nerves in the brain and spinal cord is prone to deterioration (demyelination), which reduces the ability of the nerves to relay information to the brain. In addition, damage to the outer layer of the adrenal glands (adrenal cortex) causes a shortage of certain hormones (adrenocortical insufficiency). Adrenocortical insufficiency may cause weakness, weight loss, skin changes, vomiting, and coma.

Practicing Punnett Squares. Cells from eyes of dead 'may give sight to blind' 31 January 2014Last updated at 22:36 ET By James Gallagher Health and science reporter, BBC News The necessary cells can be found in the back of everyone's eyes Cells taken from the donated eyes of dead people may be able to give sight to the blind, researchers suggest. Tests in rats, reported in Stem Cells Translational Medicine, showed the human cells could restore some vision to completely blind rats. The team at University College London said similar results in humans would improve quality of life, but would not give enough vision to read.

First Posted: Jul 12, 2013 12:11 AM EDT Scientists may have just identified a potential drug to block AIDS. They've found the precise chain of molecular events in the human body that drives the death of most of the immune system's CD4 T cells as an HIV infection leads to AIDS. (Photo : Reuters) Recent research shows promising results for children with hereditary diseases like metachromatic leukodystrophy and Wiskott Aldrich syndrome who undergo gene therapy vectors derived from the HIV virus.
Like Us on Facebook "Three years after the start of the clinical trial, the results obtained from the first six patients are very encouraging: the therapy is not only safe, but also effective and able to change the clinical history of these severe diseases," lead researcher Luigi Naldini said in a news release. Researchers looked to the therapy in order to determine if it could help alleviate problems affected by the disease.
More information regarding the study can be found in the journal Science. Harmonizing a Broken Heart: Stem Cells Keep Cardiac Beat in Synchrony. First Posted: Sep 04, 2013 03:00 PM EDT Stem cell therapy used to regenerate injured tissue in the heart also restores synchronous pumping, new research shows, and could thus be used to make pacing devices redundant.
