They studied 289 pairs of identical twins ( monozygotic or from one fertilized egg ) and 495 pairs of fraternal twins ( dizygotic or from two fertilized eggs ) and found concordance rates for same-sex attraction of only 7. 7 % for male identical twins and 5. 3 % for females, a pattern which they say " does not suggest genetic influence independent of social context.

This means that a big part of the morphological evolution undergone by organisms is a product of variation in the genetic toolkit, either by the genes changing their expression pattern or acquiring new functions.

Unable to convince his associates to abandon tradition and consider escape, and reasoning that modern Kryptonian society had grown cold, unfeeling and thus decadent, Jor-El removed the Eradicator's planetary binding genes from his genetic pattern, took the birthing matrix of his unborn son Kal-El and attached a prototype interstellar propulsion system to the vessel.

The incidence of pattern baldness varies from population to population based on genetic background.

Male pattern baldness is mostly the result of a genetic event that causes dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ), a male hormone, to cause the hair follicles to atrophy.

Much research went into the genetic component of male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia ( AGA ).

Ongoing research reveals a similar genetic pattern among the related Apache people.

There are many mutations of Cockatiels with varied colors, they are: Silvestre, Harlequin, Lutino, Cinnamon, opaline ( Pearl ), Cara Black, Silver, Fawn, Albino ( there is a pattern and not just albino genetic mutations ), Pastel, Silver and Recessive silver dominant.

Along with determining the pattern of descendants, molecular genetics helps in understanding genetic mutations that can cause certain types of diseases.

Because the disease appears to be inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, detection of low-sulfur brittle hair syndrome is also important for genetic counseling.

In biology, a genetic program of a cell is a physiological change brought about by a temporal pattern of activation of a particular subset of genes.

In the continental population, genetic diversity is considerable, and the evolutionary pattern of the 2 studied genes did not agree, and neither did the origin of specimens show clear structures.

This pattern of repeated colonizations resulted in a unique genetic conformation in the Euoenotherae whereby the chromosomes at meiosis can form into circles of varying size, rather than complete chromosome pairing as in common meiosis.

Tuberous sclerosis is a genetic disorder with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance, and penetrance is variable.

Paul himself notes, " Fenring was one of the might-have-beens, an almost Kwisatz Haderach, crippled by a flaw in the genetic pattern — a eunuch, his talent concentrated into furtiveness and inner seclusion.

The crew eventually believe that they have discovered an embedded genetic pattern that is constant throughout many different species, and it is speculated that this was left by an early race that pre-dates all other known civilizations.

Therefore, because the breasts are especially sensitive to developmental interference ( genetic and environmental ), breast symmetry indicates a woman of good health and thus of good breeding stock, who shall successfully bear more ( surviving ) children than will a woman with asymmetrical breasts.

Linguistic and genetic evidence indicates the Romanies originated on the Indian subcontinent, emigrating from India towards the northwest no earlier than the 11th century.

But newer genetic evidence indicates their closest living relatives are the Carnivora with which they form the clade, Ferae.

Rates of genetic change are 100 times slower than influenza A in humans, but on the same magnitude as those of hepatitis B. Extrapolating backwards using these rates indicates that Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus diverged several thousand years ago.

Mushroom bodies are structures in the brains of many types of worms and arthropods that are known to play important roles in learning and memory ; the genetic evidence indicates a common evolutionary origin, and therefore indicates that the origins of the earliest precursors of the cerebral cortex date back to the early Precambrian era.

Together with various other structural and genetic details, this organization indicates a close relationship between the dinoflagellates, Apicomplexa, and ciliates, collectively referred to as the alveolates.

This indicates that the plastid was derived from a eukaryotic symbiont, shown by genetic studies to have been a red alga.

Other research indicates that violence in families is more likely to occur when step-parents are present and that " genetic relationship is associated with a softening of conflict, and people's evident valuations of themselves and of others are systematically related to the parties ' reproductive values ".

The yews have previously been separated into a distinct order of their own ( Taxales ), but genetic evidence indicates yews are monophyletic with other conifers and they are now included in the Pinales.

The statement further describes that there is genetic evidence that the Native American Indians are closely related to peoples of Asia, and that archeological evidence indicates that the Native Americans migrated from Asia over a land bridge over the Bering Strait in prehistoric times.

A large gene pool indicates extensive genetic diversity, which is associated with robust populations that can survive bouts of intense selection.

But animal phobias are at least partly genetically determined, and this indicates that attitudes towards animals have a genetic component.

Research indicates not all women are influenced equally, due to the anatomical, hormonal, and genetic differences of the female body ; however, women ’ s bodies are often objectified and evaluated more frequently.

Although they differ greatly in appearance and ecology, their genetic divergence of 0. 3 % indicates that the ancestors of the two forms might have diverged as recently as 150, 000 years ago.

Extensive evidence from mouse strains with spina bifida indicates sometimes a genetic basis for the condition.

The Madagascan Fossa Cryptoprocta ferox was similarly long thought to be a member of Viverridae, but genetic evidence indicates that this animal is a member of the family Eupleridae, an endemic Madagascan carnivore radiation related to the family Herpestidae.

The Asiatic Stink badgers of the genus Mydaus were formerly included within Melinae ( and thus Mustelidae ), but recent genetic evidence indicates these are actually members of the skunk family, placing them in the taxonomic family Mephitidae.

The absence of speleothem decorations which can only form in air filled caves, indicates that the flooded Florida caves have a single genetic phase origin, having remained water filled even during past low sea levels.

A more thorough phylogeographic analysis that used ten different genes instead of a single mitochondrial marker indicates that at least two major expansions out of Africa after the initial range extension of Homo erectus played an important role shaping the modern human gene pool and that recurrent genetic exchange is pervasive.

This high degree of genetic diversity indicates that Southern Africa is the origin of anatomically modern humans.

Some research also suggests a genetic predisposition due to an expression of vimentin, which indicates cellular migration by the keratoblasts embryological development, which are the cells that give rise to the layers of the cornea.

In northern Iran, there is a region of range overlap with the Red-headed Bunting and natural hybrids are common although molecular data indicates that there is considerable genetic divergence between the two species.
