A previous study made reference to the fact that the predisposition or inclination towards certain types of alcoholic beverages was given by genetics. Now, a new work concludes that going from a moderate alcohol intake to a problem with it (alcoholism) is also in the genes, specifically by a segment of genetic material known as microRNA.
Certain species have undergone such extreme changes and adaptations that it is very difficult to reconstruct their evolutionary history. Thus, a team of zoologists has discovered microbes that constitute a link between fungi and microsporidium.
Intelligence and a large part of the personality traits that influence our success or failure in school are determined by our genes, according to a new study from Kings College London (United Kingdom) and collected in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Height is not determined by a single gene but by the combination of many. Now, a new international investigation endorsed by more than 300 medical institutions has identified more than 400 genes that could influence the height of the human beings, number that is more than double the genes that have been discovered until now.
We are talking about an old theory by the German biologist August Weismann called "telegony" based on the transmission of inheritance, which postulated that the lineage of a female and a male could acquire physical qualities from another male who had previously mated with the female (idea already exposed previously by Aristotle).
A new study carried out by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) has determined that the predisposition or inclination towards certain types of alcoholic beverages is determined not by bitter taste receptors but by genetics. The study has been published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research.
Your face sounds familiar to me ... We all know that facial features are, above other personal characteristics such as gait or voice, the main clue to identify a fellow man.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
